Abstract
In order to reach a state of increased happiness and well-being, it is necessary to explore and accept one's emotions. The Path of the Witness (PW) is a therapeutic yoga model that I have developed that enables the individual to understand and nurture the self through a process that explores and cultivates his emotions in a group context. This model integrates Eastern yogic wisdom and Western therapy practices to assist the individual to integrate uncomfortable, constrictive emotions and cultivate expansive, healing emotions. This approach heals the emotional wounds of clients who suffer from mild emotional distress and ultimately promotes their emotional growth and well-being.
