Yoga Therapy

Yoga therapy is a sort of treatment that focuses on improving mental and physical health using yoga postures, breathing exercises, meditation, and guided imagery. Yoga therapy's holistic approach supports the integration of mind, body, and spirit. Modern yoga therapy incorporates components of both physical therapy and psychotherapy into a wide spectrum of therapeutic methods. Yoga therapy has a long history of use as a depression and anxiety treatment. Yoga therapy has also shown potential in the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and schizophrenia, according to a meta-analysis published in the Primary Care Companion for CNS Disorders. Yoga therapists have also started to design therapeutic approaches for children with autism.

Yoga treatment is available in a variety of forms. Yoga practices are frequently used by physical therapists in the delivery of massage and other therapies. Physical therapy, rehabilitative therapy, and/or psychotherapy are all examples of yoga therapy. Yoga therapy sessions, unlike traditional yoga classes, are usually performed one-on-one or in small groups. Yoga therapy can be used as a supplement to other forms of treatment, or it can be used to address a specific ailment directly. Yoga practices range from basic to sophisticated, and people of all ages can benefit from them.
