Salutogenesis, as the health-promoting approach, lies at the core of yoga therapy. When we do an initial assessment of the client, we focus on multilevel functioning in harmony. We identify disharmony at each level of functioning (according to pancha kosha, doshas, gunas, and vayus), and create a protocol specific to this client’s goals to help them move from disharmony to harmony, from disease to health. Together with the client we keep evaluating the progress towards reaching their potential. We facilitate a proactive stance in the client—where they take ownership and responsibility to move forward to grow on a wellness continuum. This helps the client to discover how to live fully.
