Lisa is joined by Nataraja Kallio, a professor at Naropa University, in Boulder CO., where he helped pioneer both undergraduate and graduate degree programs in Yoga Studies. He has an extensive background in both Yoga Studies and Psychology.Nataraja and Lisa talk about how yoga and psychology are a great combination when dealing with intense emotions.  Nataraja shares his journey with yoga, how he grew, up, letting yourself feel all emotions deeply, and about Naropa’s Bachelor of Arts in Yoga Studies. Lisa shares her experience with yoga, bio-energetic therapy, and the importance of letting children feel and express their emotions. The Naropa’s Bachelor of Arts in Yoga Studies is more than a yoga teacher training and yoga certification program. Here, you’ll embrace yogic practice as a way of life. Be transformed on and off the mat at the nation’s first yoga university.The first yoga class at Naropa University was taught in 1974 by spiritual leader Ram Dass. In a school bus converted into a camper, he spent two months preparing the course in the deserts of New Mexico and California. He not only immersed himself in the Gītā and its commentaries that summer, but even gave the inaugural lectures to a rapt audience of desert jackrabbits—a picturesque beginning for yoga studies at Naropa.In subsequent decades, Naropa launched the Bachelor of Arts degree in Yoga Studies—the first bachelor's degree in yoga offered in America. The program has been flourishing for the last ten years and facilitates a unique merger of contemplative and academic rigor.Becoming a yoga instructor is often life changing. For students in Naropa’s yoga studies degree program, this is particularly true. You’ll spend four years delving into yoga's history, literature, and philosophy. The methodologies of Hatha Yoga will come to life as you practice asanas, pranayama, and meditation. This is a yoga education like no other.

Blending Yoga & Psychology to Work Through Intense Emotions with Naropa Professor Nataraja Kallio

Ben Williams

It is important to cultivate discernment in the sense of a historical awareness: the ability to discern many different streams in yogic traditions, and understand their fundamental orientations, outlooks, and practices. This means not letting these different streams all get mixed up into a very vague notion of yoga, but actually appreciating the depth and integrity of each. And thus when we draw from each lineage, we gain greater access to its transformational power. I think that discernment is something that is missing in the broader world of modern postural yoga.
