Shahid Khan Focus: Yoga Psychology & Mental Stability

 

Welcome to a profound yet highly practical exploration of the mind. This 2-Day Yogveda Master Workshop uses classical yoga philosophy (Patanjali) to transform mental turbulence into inner strength.

In the Yoga Sutras, the root of suffering is not the external world, but the movement of the mind itself.

​

The Two Forces Shaping Your Perception 

Our emotional reactions and habitual patterns are shaped by two primary forces:

1. Vrittis: The fluctuations of the mind (racing thoughts).

2. Kleshas: The deep psychological causes of suffering (such as attachment, ego, fear).

This workshop bridges ancient wisdom with modern lived experience. We translate complex philosophy into clear, tangible tools for self-regulation, emotional clarity, and inner stability.

​

Why Focus on Vrittis & Kleshas? 

In today’s world, most people experience chronic mental agitation:

• Racing thoughts and decision fatigue.

• Emotional reactivity and mood instability.

• Difficulty relaxing even during rest.

• A persistent sense of dissatisfaction.

These are expressions of disturbed Vrittis and unconscious Kleshas. When left unaddressed, they manifest physically as tension, shallow breathing, and disrupted sleep.

​

What You Will Explore over 2 Days 

Through structured theory, intelligent asana sequencing, and precise pranayama, you will learn how to observe and quiet the patterns that disturb both mind and breath.

1. Philosophy Made Practical 

• The five Vrittis and how they shape daily perception.

• The five Kleshas and their role in psychological conditioning.

• The relationship between mind fluctuation and nervous system imbalance.

2. Applied Asana Practice

The physical practice will focus on:

• Sequences that stabilize the nervous system.

• Postures that release accumulated mental tension from key stress zones (neck, diaphragm, hips).

• Creating physical steadiness that supports mental clarity.

3. Pranayama & Awareness Techniques

Learn breathing practices that:

• Reduce mental noise.

• Regulate emotional responses.

• Support meditative stillness without force.

​

Your Benefit: From Turbulence to Steadiness 

This workshop offers a grounded pathway to understanding how the mind creates suffering — and how yoga provides the tools to dissolve it.

• Greater mental clarity and focus.

• Reduced reactivity and emotional overwhelm.

• Deeper sense of inner calm and stability.
