Yoga Therapy
Yoga therapy is a form of therapy that improves mental and physical health by using yoga postures, breathing exercises, meditation, and guided imagery. Yoga therapy’s therapeutic focus promotes the integration of the mind, body, and spirit. A wide range of clinical modalities are covered by modern yoga therapy, integrating concepts from both physical therapy and psychotherapy.
Yoga therapy is a growing field and its effectiveness has started to be highlighted by empirical evidence. It is used to address existing mental and physical health conditions, but can also be used for prevention and maintenance as a self-care technique.
Many individuals live stressful lives, and perhaps the greatest overall stress relief system ever invented is yoga therapy. A broad range of medical issues, including migraine headaches and irritable bowel syndrome to potentially life-threatening conditions such as diabetes, osteoporosis, and heart disease, have been related to stress. Since the role of the immune system can be undermined by persistently high levels of stress hormones, especially cortisol, yoga therapy can also help here.
