What Is Yoga-Based Therapy?
Yoga-based therapy is an individualized, personalized and holistic approach that takes into account not only a person’s mind, body and spirit, but also their family, support network, work situation, and culture, in order to develop an individualized treatment plan with the goal of improved health and well being. This type of therapy works through the application of the teachings and practices of yoga, which is a scientific system that views the human being as a multidimensional structure inclusive of body, breath, mind, emotion, intellect, and their mutual interaction. Beyond the physical elements of yoga poses, yoga-based therapy incorporates appropriate breathing techniques, mindfulness, meditation and self-reflection/study in order to achieve the maximum benefits.
How Can A Yoga Therapist Help Me?
There has been a tremendous growth of scientific research on the many practices of yoga in recent years which has validated it as a therapeutic discipline. Yoga’s positive effects have been studied on anxiety, stress, depression, pain syndromes, trauma, and cardiovascular, autoimmune, and immune conditions. Yoga-based therapy also emphasizes a one-on-one personalized approach to provide holistic support for a wide variety of health conditions.
