A yoga therapy program is a structured, evidence-based practice that tailors yoga techniques to an individual’s specific medical conditions and goals. Unlike a general yoga class, which focuses on general fitness and flexibility, yoga therapy integrates yogic techniques such as breath work, physical movement, and meditation to address multi-dimensionally mental and physical health concerns.
Yoga therapy is beneficial for individuals managing mental or physical conditions or those looking to achieve improved health through holistic methods. It is particularly effective in helping people recover from injuries, reduce stress-related symptoms, and manage chronic illnesses such as high blood pressure. Many healthcare providers now recommend yoga therapy as part of an integrative medicine approach to wellness.
Research has shown that yoga therapy can significantly reduce emotional distress and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A certified yoga therapist uses yogic principles and mind-body practice to help individuals process trauma in a complementary manner with conventional treatment. Techniques such as physical yoga postures and meditation can facilitate healing by calming the nervous system and improving emotional regulation.
