What ist Yoga-Psychotherapy YoPT®?

Yoga Psychotherapy YoPT® is a new body psychotherapy which integrates body work for stabilization and trauma confrontation in a safe way including work with charge and energy (ANS), ego-state therapy, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, sensomotoric therapy, SE and  trauma-therapy in a jewish frame, using the jewish spiritual tradition as source for inner imaging and transformation.

YoPT®  integrates the body techniques with modern psychotherapy research (like the Polyvagal theory,) for overcoming stress, trauma and relational wounds of adults or children.

YoPT® is a taught in Switzerland and recognized from the FSP (Federation of Swiss Psychologist & Psychotherapist).

YoPT® uses body “tools” such as breathing, moving, body postures, hand postures and conveys them mirror-neuronally, which is also a benefit for the therapists – they are also moving, enlivened and inspired!

YoPT® is a psychotherapeutic method that is helpful for children and adults with trauma  to overcome symptoms of PTSD.

When can YoPT® be employed?

  • YoPT® has a calming effect on anxiety disorders
  • YoPT® has an activating effect on depression
  • YoPT® builds a whole-body resource that reaches the mind through the body and creates a new sense of self.
  • The integration of body and mind leads to self-regulation and in adults self-awareness and self-compassion, what is the precondition to transform shadow parts, defensive structures and trauma symptoms.
  • For children we create the condition to work with difficult relations and trauma, by stabilizing first the whole body mind system.
  • YoPT® uses the targeted relaxation of the ventral vagus, the mirror neuronal working method, and spirituality to deepen resources and prepare trauma confrontation.

How is the YoPT®-Training structured?
