In this article, we explore potential benefits of yoga, an ancient Indian tradition for spiritual growth and development, for counselors. Counselors use themselves as instruments to support clients and are constantly exposed to the traumatic experiences of clients, which may leave them susceptible to secondary traumatic stress or compassion fatigue (Shallcross, 2011). Yoga can help counselors not only in achieving holistic wellness but also in developing a way of being consistent with the characteristics of an effective counselor. Furthermore, yoga, as a spiritual practice, can empower counselors to embark on a spiritual journey driven by their own personal experiences.

将瑜伽作为一种精神练习来提高辅导员的健康和效能

在本文中，我们探索了瑜伽的潜在益处，瑜伽是印度古老的精神成长和发展传统，对咨询师而言。辅导员将自己用作支持客户的工具，并不断地接触到客户的创伤经历，这可能会使他们容易遭受继发性创伤压力或同情疲劳（Shallcross，2011）。瑜伽不仅可以帮助辅导员获得整体健康，还可以帮助其发展与有效辅导员的特征保持一致的方式。此外，瑜伽作为一种精神修养，可以使辅导员有能力根据自己的个人经历而踏上精神之旅。
