WHAT IS YOGA THERAPY?

Yoga programs designed for specific ailments fall under the scope of Yoga Therapy.  

Yoga Therapy is not a standalone form of treatment; it is more accurately defined as a guide to healthy living that helps prevent diseases and supports specific medical treatments. It does not replace medical treatment. 

Yoga Therapy includes thousands of techniques suitable for all ages and health conditions. Practicing the right techniques in the right order and in the correct way promotes health. Everyone can benefit from Yoga Therapy. 

A Holistic Approach to Health 

Health is defined as a state of well-being. Yoga Therapy encompasses the proper use of the body, correct breathing, the ability to relax, the power to focus, and the development of mind-emotion awareness. 

According to the Yoga Therapy approach, for a person to be healthy, the body, mind, and emotions must be in balance and harmony both within themselves and with each other. A person must know how to use their body in daily life, how to breathe, how to relax, and how to focus. Today’s fast-paced and stressful living conditions control the individual's life and leave little room for making healthy choices. As a result, a life lived randomly and without awareness emerges, and the price of this is the gradual loss of health. 

Although Yoga Therapy is applied to address specific health problems that arise in a person’s life, it also fosters a holistic healing consciousness thanks to its comprehensive approach. 

Through Yoga Therapy practices, individuals gain a more realistic, positive, accepting, and calm perspective of themselves. As the body-mind dialogue improves, the individual begins to listen to the needs of their body. 

Yoga Therapy postures have a multi-dimensional impact on the body. While tissues, muscles, bones, joints, organs, and systems gain physical health, balance and peace are achieved on a mental and emotional level.

BENEFITS OF YOGA THERAPY
