Yoga Psychology Training Course, India
1st Jan - 31st Jan 2025 (Gokarna) | 1st July - 31st July 2025 (Himalayas)
About the Course
UNLOCK POTENTIAL & FREE YOUR MIND WITH THE SECRET KEYs OF YOGA PSYCHOLOGY
The 1 month Yoga Psychology is an intensive, 200 hour certification programme, culminating in the awarding of the Yoga Psychology certification. Harking back to the Yoga of Discriminative Numeration or Samkhya Yoga, the diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic techniques of Yoga Psychology are based on the understanding of the absolute and moment to moment uniqueness of each individual.
In the Yogic Psychology Course, the students will undergo training in the o-Point System of the Chakras and the Petalline Architecture Personality Systems– the culmination of over a decades long research by AryaMarga Yoga to integrate the diverse systems of yoga psychology into a composite system of Psychological Diagnosis, Prognosis and Therapy.
Starting with customised diagnosis of personality traits as per Yoga Psychology, the 0 Point System provides customised suites of Yogic tools-that comprises of Asanas, Pranayamas and Psychological techniques suited to the individual personality.
The customisation process is decided by the initial survey and observation based diagnosis of the individual, a process called Personality Mapping. This process allows us to understand our own unique personality system. We then target personality traits desired by the individual and finally give form to the suite of tools so that they may act as a ‘Personality Bridge’ between the existing personality with its existing traits and the Desired Personality with its desirable traits. The process of transformation or Personality Expansion is then activated and realised, its speed depending upon the regularity and intensity of practice of the suite of individualised Yogic tools within the 0 Point System. In this module, the students will also be introduced to the in depth study of the Siva Sutras, Mudras, Advanced pranayama, Yoga Nidra practices and Laya Yoga Theory.
Training will also progress within the Kriya Yoga Systems to an advanced level within this course module. Psychological and Emotional self-healing, diagnostics, therapy and evolutionary methodologies will be taught and practiced in this course module of the TTC.
This in turn allows the student to move from being one who experiences the power of Yoga, to one who heals, and helps develop the bodies and minds of others with Yoga- a true teacher.
Curriculum
Yoga psychology is, without doubt, the oldest and most time tested system of study concerning the human mind, its fallacies and their correction. At ARYAMARGA YOGA, we have worked over a decade to integrate the diverse systems of ancient Yoga Psychology into a single composite system of psychological diagnosis, prognosis and therapy, called the 0 Point System.
Starting with customised diagnosis of personality traits as per Yoga Psychology, the 0 Point System provides customised suites of Yogic tools-comprising of Asanas, Pranayamas and Psychological techniques suited to the individual personality. The customisation process is decided by the initial survey and observation based diagnosis of the individual, a process called Personality Mapping. This process allows us to understand our own unique personality system. We then target personality traits desired by the individual and finally give form to the suite of tools so that they may act as a ‘Personality Bridge’ between the existing personality with its existing traits and the Desired Personality with its desirable traits. The process of transformation or Personality Expansion, is then activated and realised, its speed depending upon the regularity and intensity of practice of the suite of individualised Yogic tools within the 0 Point System.

Roshan Palat, Founder & Philosophy Teacher
Roshan met his Guru near an alpine village a few hours hiking distance from the mountain town of Uttarkashi.
Ganapati Baba’s teaching of the 4 Yogas of the ancient Mahasiddhas Lineage and the profound manner in which it was imparted changed Roshan’s life forever.
Being instructed to learn more about Mahakaruna / The Great Compassion and Shunyata/Emptiness, by his Guru, Roshan undertook a 3-year study into Mahayana Buddhism and the View and Practices derived by that system from the 84 Mahasiddhas.
Since then he has been residing, practising and teaching in the Tibetan town of Bir

Akshat Madan, Pranayama & Somatic Yoga Teacher
Akshat, after having quit his job as a financial advisor, set out to travel the mystical land of Yogis and Sages. He was spellbound by the beauty and diversity that India offered, but found it almost impossible to make any coherent sense of his spiritual experience. The thirst for knowledge remained unsatiated. It was during his meeting with Roshanji, that an instant and deep connection was formed to a living lineage of yogic masters. He took the quantum leap and decided to fully immerse and dedicate himself to this new lifestyle
The Zero-Point Psychology System
The 1-Month Yoga Psychology Teacher Training Course with the founder of the 0 Point System, Shri. Roshan Palat will be an in-depth introduction to the theory, practice and techniques of the main components of the 0 Point system. Divided into 6 sections and spread out over 150 classes, the intensive 1-Month Psychology Training Course will allow the participants to plunge into intense self-awareness of their own thoughts, feelings, emotions and intentions.
This will be followed by the creating of a complementary personality that will complete our own existing personality traits. Lastly the process of transformation and metamorphosis, internalising and becoming the new persona is taught and practiced by the participants.
Ancient meditation and psychological techniques from systems of Shiva tantra, Vajrayana tantra and the Raja Yogas will all be introduced and their secret practical usage explained. Participants will understand by themselves how these ancient techniques are mapped across the Cognitive, Affective, Behavioural and Conative axes of modern psychology.
Participants will learn and understand the basic secrets of the physical postures or Asanas and how they are related to the psyche of the individual. Knowing this, participants will be able to practise and realise the mind-transforming techniques hidden within these physical postures.
Specific breathing techniques which must always be practised within a special mental perspective will be introduced and the participants will immediately realise the power of these secretive breath based techniques that have the unique power to evolve the mind and produce physiological homeostasis.
