Yoga Therapy
Yoga Therapy
is today a very successful system employing the profound wisdom and
principles of Traditional Yoga.
Yoga therapy in its present form is a new discipline, created
by the marriage of traditional yoga with modern medicine.
By tailoring yoga practices to individual needs, whilst taking
medical considerations into account, yoga therapy is more effective than
general yoga practice as a safe means of treating medical conditions.
Yoga therapy is applicable to a great variety of conditions,
including anxiety, low back pain, arthritis, hypertension, heart conditions,
hyperventilation, asthma, irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes, multiple
scelorosis, chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.
Yoga therapy can also promote positive health for pregnancy
and childbirth, mothers and babies, children, reproductive health in women
and men, and the elderly.
Yoga Therapy cultivates body/mind integration and a sense of
harmony with life. It promotes the innate healing resources of the body,
helping restore the proper functioning of the various bodily systems.
Medical research provides increasing evidence that yoga
therapy is effective.
Yoga therapists provide the application of yoga to medical
conditions.
Yoga Therapy can be practised in conjunction with any
medical treatments you are already receiving, and also in tandem with other
complementary therapies. No prior experience of yoga is necessary before
starting.
Some
techniques include yoga massage, (which is the same as Thai Yoga Massage) in
that involves helping the client to stretch a little deeper with the guidance
of the therapist.
