Understanding the Foundation

What Is Yoga Psychology ?

Yoga, as commonly practiced today, is largely derived from the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, focusing on physical aspects like Asanas, Pranayama, Kriyas, and Bandhas. While these influence the mind, they do so indirectly through the body (somato-psychic effect).

In contrast, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali present a deeper understanding of the mind—its nature, causes of distress, and ways to manage it—offering a direct psycho-somatic approach that is often overlooked or misunderstood.

YOGA PSYCHOLOGY FOUNDATION has designed Programme to address these aspects, promoting self-empowerment through self-awareness. These Programme help participants:

This course is beautifully designed. The integration of mind psychology and the holistic science of yoga blends seamlessly to help us understand the challenges we may have been unaware of, ignored, or neglected—and how to address them.

I found this program highly informative, enlightening, and of great practical value. The training was effective, and Dr. Pednekar excels at engaging with the students. He has been instrumental in bringing out the counselor in me, helping me resolve my issues and discover my own solutions. Since attending his Level 2 program, my sciatica has completely disappeared!

This program teaches a practical self-analysis technique that allowed me to take a deep look into myself, identify the root cause of my problems, and address them. The insights gained were eye-opening, as I had previously only treated the symptoms, not the root cause. By focusing on my relationship with myself, I experienced profound positive changes. The impact Dr. Atul creates in his students’ lives is the most meaningful aspect of attending his programs.

The program helped me understand deeper aspects of my personality and why I behaved in certain ways. It also taught me to graciously accept others with their varied perspectives. I’m grateful to Dr. Atul for being such a dedicated, approachable, and insightful guide, who presents complex life concepts in a scientific and systematic way.

This course had a significant impact on me. Dr. Atul, though gentle in his approach, insists on guiding students through self-awareness without offering quick fixes. He helps you explore your personality framework and supports your journey to achieving balance, staying by your side as you navigate your challenges.

I wish to give my feedback for today’s session on PCOS by conveying my heartfelt gratitude for this wonderful workshop. It was highly informative and value creating and Sir explained all the concepts with so much clarity. Thank you and eager to join more upcoming workshops and enrol/register for programs

The workshop Mindfulness and PCOS conducted by Dr Atul Pednekar was very insightful as till now I was looking at PCOS as pure medical condition and from psychology perspective I have treated associate emotional symptoms of PCOS like social anxiety due to weight gain, facial hair, acne, mood swings etc.This workshop has spotted light on uncovered aspects of underlying emotional causes that can lead to PCOS and emotional release can help in managing the PCOS.With this I would also like to know the yogic practice (asana, pranayama, meditation etc) that can helpful to submissive personality and aggressive personality having PCOS.Thank you so much for thoughtful emotional awareness workshop 🙏
