About us the 10 principles.
Beyond the self: breathing the self-less principles.
Welcome to NDLCA.
"Hi, I’m Youri. At NDLCA, we help coaches build a practice grounded in nondual principles. By joining our supportive network, you’re engaging with like-minded coaches, using self-less principles as resources to grow together."

It’s About Us the 10 Principles.
"This isn’t about us—it’s about the 10 principles that guide everything we do. By focusing on selflessness, we keep attention on what truly matters in coaching."
"These principles help coaches stay grounded and avoid getting lost in tools or abstract concepts. They provide the foundation for an authentic, effective coaching practice."
Explanation
Each principle mirrors all others. Focusing on any in coaching (in)directly engages the other principles, allowing both coach and client to experience wholeness.
Explanation
The coach does not assume any position of authority or superiority (nor inferiority) over the coachee. Both are equals in the coaching process.
Explanation
Coaching unfolds naturally without deliberate intervention by a coach. There is no individual doing or acting; the process simply happens.
Explanation
Coaching arises from nondual Awareness. The coach embodies this effortlessly, guiding the process naturally.
Explanation
No judgments are held or shared. There is no correct understanding or right way to coach. Judging only creates separation and hinders coaching.
Explanation
The coach leverages the coachee’s mental resistance as a resource. This resistance is used to spark deeper insights.
Explanation
Nonduality embraces paradox, encouraging the mind to relinquish control. Paradox is playful and points beyond conventional sense-making.
Explanation
Progress is driven by insights, not new information. Nothing extraneous is added. True transformation comes from letting go of knowledge and beliefs.
Explanation
The client is whole, fully awake, and aware. The coach helps the client recognize and rediscover this wholeness, fostering growth without adding anything new.
Explanation
Coaching is a spontaneous, present-moment interaction with no set path. It evolves as a fluid dance between coach and coachee, without goals or intentions.
