What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga therapy integrates traditional yogic knowledge and techniques with that of the Western medicine. Yoga therapy is a holistic treatment of various physiological and psychological conditions ranging from chronic illness and injury to anxiety and depression. Both approaches share an understanding of the human being as an integrated body-mind system, which functions optimally when there is a state of dynamic balance and wholeness.
