Abstract

This article proposes a conceptual understanding on becoming a Yogi coach. Yogic perspective is presented to help coaches become better coaches by being able to resonate with their coachees. This resonance is achieved by the coach developing Sakhi (friend) and SAkshi (witness/meditative) bhAva (state of mind) as their inner anchorage. The current article examines the nature of conversations through the lens of Patanjali Yoga sutras and details out developing Sakhi bhAva and SAkshi bhAva using the Chakra principles. Discussion is done on the nature of conversations, the inner drama, and its consequences. The article brings out the seven types of conversation and the potential transformation a Yogi Coach can offer. Yogic view is proposed to enhance coaching conversations to facilitate deeper inquiry, explore possibilities and aid inner transformation by the coachee. This article is the first article of the two-part series on becoming a Yogi coach.
