Yoga Therapy
The physical benefits of yoga are widely known. It is a strenuous but gentle practice that lengthens and tones muscles, strengthens ligaments and improves circulation. New students are discovering the psychological benefits of yoga every day. Yoga is calming, relaxing and restorative. It is a clear path to better health.
Often you will hear about "yoga therapy." But what exactly is it? Yoga therapy is a relatively new discipline that seeks to combine traditional yoga with modern medicine. It has far reaching applications and has been used to treat insomnia, arthritis, multiple sclerosis (MS), bipolar disorders, osteoporosis, diabetes, asthma and hypertension.
Yoga therapy seeks to foster an integration of the body and mind, and seeks to augment the benefits of western medicine with the healing practices of yoga. Medical research has shown that the body has innate healing resources. Yoga therapy seeks to tap into them. It has been especially effective in strengthening the elderly, whose bodies have begun a natural process of deterioration.
Any health therapy naturally begins with a practice of yoga and tai chi. And it may be truer of any group that those needing yoga therapy will not be able to attend classes in a studio.
