What is Yoga Therapy?

Yoga therapy is the use of various yoga practices – such as poses,relaxation techniques,breathing exercises,and meditation – to help people with a wide variety of health conditions,both physical and psychological. The concept of yoga therapy has been around since the beginning of yoga in India. Yoga therapy as a term and as a service in our culture is only recently getting attention. In a very short period of time, we have embraced yoga mostly as a form of fitness. What many are discovering in their yoga for fitness classes is that something more is happening. By combining asana (postures) with breath, breath exercises (pranayama), and meditation within the practice, one can experience yoga's therapeutic effects even more profoundly than merely performing asana alone. Yoga therapy uses a combination of these practices. But, which practices and how they are used is uniquely specific to each person. This is where the yoga therapist steps in, to balance out any imbalances and bring the body and mind back into harmony.

TKV Desikachar and Kausthub Desikachar:

" Depending upon the nature of the illness, Yoga therapy can not only be preventative or curative, but also serve a means to manage the illness, or facilitate healing in the person."

IAYT (International Association of Yoga Therapists):

"Yoga therapy is the process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well-being through the application of the philosophy and practice of Yoga."
