What is Yoga Therapy?

 

Yoga therapy is a self-empowering process, where the care-seeker, with the help of the Yoga therapist, implements a personalized and evolving Yoga practice, that not only addresses the illness in a multi-dimensional manner, but also aims to alleviate his/her suffering in a progressive, non-invasive and complementary manner.  Depending upon the nature of the illness, Yoga therapy can serve as a means to manage their condition, reduce symptoms, restore balance, increase vitality,

A health problem may be primarily in one of these aspects, for example, back pain caused by poor posture. Yoga Therapy would then focus on working with the body and Yoga postures. If the back pain is exacerbated by stress, Yoga breathing techniques will help to calm the mind,

Our health is a dynamic combination of body and mind. Long term physical conditions are commonly associated with depression and a variety of feelings – sadness, loss, frustration, anger. Our emotional health affects our physical health .

Yoga can bring us awareness of the body,mind and emotions; and more understanding of how to help the body, emotions or patterns of thinking and provides a practical approach to developing a positive state of health.  

 Yoga Therapy may be used in an individual, one-to-one session or in small therapy groups .
