Yoga therapy is a holistic and personalized approach that applies the principles of yoga to support physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Unlike general fitness yoga, it is specifically adapted to address individual health conditions and life challenges.
It combines breathing techniques (pranayama), physical postures (asanas), meditation, relaxation methods, and lifestyle guidance to promote healing, prevent illness, and complement conventional medical treatments
within integrative healthcare settings.
Principles of Yoga Therapy
Yoga therapy is based on individualized care, meaning each program is tailored to a person’s health condition, age, lifestyle, and goals. It follows a holistic approach that addresses the mind, body, and spirit rather than focusing only on symptoms. The
practice encourages self-awareness and mindfulness to help individuals recognize stress triggers and improve overall balance. It serves both preventive and therapeutic purposes, supporting disease prevention
and recovery, and is often integrated with modern medical treatments under professional guidance.
