YOGA THERAPY
Yoga therapy is a new form of healing emerging out of the current popularity of yoga practices.
Yoga therapy is created by the merging of traditional yoga with modern medicine. Medical assessments are taken into consideration to tailor yoga practices to individual needs. This approach makes yoga therapy more effective than general yoga practice for people who wish to treat specific medical conditions through yoga.
Yoga therapy can be applied for a wide range of physical and mental-emotional conditions: for structural problems such as low back pain, arthritis, shoulder pain: for respiratory conditions such as asthma: for diseases of the digestive system such as irritable bowel syndrome: and for many other common health conditions such as multiple sclerosis, hypertension, anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.
