Dialogue Yoga is self-development and healing through guided conversation.
Dialogue Yoga Ireland, Ireland - Dialogue Yoga classes... Ireland Dialogue Yoga
This process is the confluence of certain aspects of Hal and Sidra Stone’s Voice Dialogue and the Psychology of Selves with Big Mind energy from Zen teachings 
as developed by
by Western Zen Master Genpo Roshi over the past two decades.

With Dialogue Yoga, you get to know yourself and your Self quickly, in a fun
and easeful conversation with the facilitator.
The true beauty of this process is 
that no prior experience in meditation or other practices of self-development is required to glimpse a taste of your True Self in a matter of a few hours.

Debora Prieto is the founding facilitator of Dialogue Yoga
Debora Prieto is the founder of the Dialogue Yoga Institute in Europe. Debora discovered the Big Mind Process, which was developed Genpo Roshi in 1999 to integrate Eastern and Western wisdom in an astonishingly original and effective manner. Debora has trained intensively in Salt Lake City, Utah with Roshi, his staff, and Diane Hamilton, his successor in the lineage in this process.

Dialogue Yoga can be implemented in individuals, groups, families, seniors, corporations, and communities. A typical facilitation can occur in 3-6 hours. Debora and her husband, Irish author Mick Quinn, were the first to name this 
work as Dialogue Yoga simply because the core of this class is a simply a conversation between the facilitator and the members of the audience.

With Dialogue yoga you will:

Discover your true nature in a period of just a few hours.

Find out who you really are by observing the voices that make 
up the sense of “I”.

Find out where your potential for happiness is being limited and 
then release those blockages, and all by simple conversation.

Learn to observe the world with new eyes, from a perspective 
of compassion that you may have never imagined before.

Discover that there is no separation between you and the other, 
because you are one and the same.

Reduce stress, increase mental flexibility and learn new ways to 
resolve conflict.  
Debora Prieto is the founding facilitator of Dialogue Yoga
Dialogue Yoga takes place through guided or facilitated conversation in half-day 
or full-day classes in group or individual settings. This process reveals the wisdom of our inner voices so we can learn from them. With Dialogue Yoga, we get to know ourselves quickly, in a fun and easy conversation between us and 
the facilitator.

We all know that there are many ‘voices’ competing for our attention. Because many of these voices are “stuck”, repressed or denied, they often manifest in unhealthy ways (i.e. impatience, frustration, depression, anger or even losing one's temper) at inappropriate times. One goal of Dialogue Yoga is to bring each one of these voices into full consciousness. Through conversation the voice loses its influence of our actions and instead can be expressed in a healthy manner.

The component parts of this process are tried and tested. It was first developed as Big Mind by a western Zen Master Dennis Genpo Merzel Roshi of the Kanzeon Zen Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1999, who after thirty years of teachings wanted to give people an experience of their True Nature, without the need for them to have five, ten, or even twenty years of meditation practice.

This process combines the insights of western psychology with the essence of
Zen teachings, specifically the insights of Carl Jung’s Shadow, Hal Stone’s Voice Dialogue and certain aspects of Gestalt with traditional Zen wisdom (both Rinzai and Soto schools). It dissects the self by allowing the 10,000 voices, both dual 
and non-dual, we have in our head to be heard.

The facilitator of this process does not teach anything; he or she creates a safe
and pleasant environment in which the participants become their own teachers 
and at the end of the day their own Masters.

But, is Dialogue Yoga really yoga. Is sitting around and chatting your way to a kensho, yogic? To answer this we just need to look at the root of yoga.

Yoga is the spiritual practice of self-realization. Yoga in the West is most closely associated with movement or postures, whereas in the East, it is a comprehensive practice of spiritual development, only one part of which has to do with physical movement.

Yoga originated in India over five thousand years ago. In the Yoga Sutras, the respected sage Patanjali, defines yoga as the control of the behavior of the mind. Patanjali went on to define classical yoga as an eight-stage process. These are known as the eight limbs of yoga. The first two stages are ethical disciplines, followed by the postures (with which most Westerns associate yoga) and the breathing exercises. The last four limbs are the meditative stages: control of the senses, concentration, meditation, and enlightenment.

One goal of Dialogue Yoga is the attainment of self-realization. As such this process is closely aligned with the Barnhart Concise Dictionary of Etymology
which defines yoga as “a system of Hindu philosophy that seeks union with 
the Supreme Spirit”.

Because Dialogue Yoga dissects the self and the 10,000 ‘voices’ that comprise it (including the voice of Morality, Responsibility, Accountability, and Ethics), in this way it includes Patanjali's first two stages of ethical disciplines. Dialogue Yoga also includes the last four stages of meditative practices (with the inclusion in the process of such non-dual voices as Big Mind, Big Heart, Compassion, Stillness, Potential, the Way) in total, six of eight of the limbs that Patanjali defined as classical yoga. 

Dialogue Yoga, however, requires no prior experience with meditation or postures. The heart-felt joy of one's True Self is just as easily experienced with this process by the religious, non-religious, those with little or no spiritual practice, and by those who through years of conditioning may have replaced the possibility of spiritual development with busy lives of scientific materialism.
In this way, Dialogue Yoga is truly an evolution of consciousness, as most likely was the 
case with the emergence of the yogas in the day of Patanjali.

Our children can also avail of Dialogue Yoga to learn, grow, heal and become scholars of themselves. The importance of this is dramatic because they are now entering a time in which the choices they are about to make are going to be essential for our collective tomorrow; they are our future. Is it not our responsibility to give our offspring all the means available to us in order to 
provide them the best chance of success in life?

Getting to know the self is the same for a seasoned seeker as it is for a fourteen year-old who may be aware that she is losing the voice the innocent child. What 
if we can give our future this clarity from this point in time, before they, too, get stuck on this wheel? What if we can give our children the freedom, clarity, under
-standing and vision of who they are and the power to direct their intentions to manifestation?  We may just save them years of unneeded confusion, anxiety, doubt, and suffering.

The beauty of this process is that there is nothing to teach; the facilitator only needs to create the appropriate conditions that will allow our natural, inner 
wisdom to talk and be heard. That is the work of the facilitator; to open that 
space in which this pre-existing knowledge and awareness emerges.

Why are you looking everywhere, when God is the looker?  Why were you constantly seeking something, when God is the seeker? When exactly were you planning on finding Spirit, when Spirit is always the finder? How exactly were you going to force God to show his or her face, when God’s face is your original face? – The witness of this very moment – already and right now. How hard is to notice that you are already effortlessly aware of this moment? Feel the listener of this sentence, feel the simple feeling of being, feel the feeler in you right now, and you are feeling the fully revealed God in his and her radiant glory, a One Taste of the Divine Suchness of the entire Kosmos, a not-two-ness of self and Self that leaves you breathlessly enlightened and fully realized in this and every moment. Hear the sounds around you? Who is not enlightened? [1]

The founders of the Big Mind Process are doing research on this at University 
of Utah. They are finding that a 1-day Big Mind workshop with people off the street—in other words, no Zen or meditation or spiritual training—show the same brain changes as a monk with 20 or 30 years of practice (similar results to the study the Dalai Lama did with meditating monks). And a month later, they still have the same brain changes.
