What is Yoga Therapy? Yoga Therapy in its present form is a new discipline created by the marriage of traditional Yoga with modern medicine. By tailoring Yoga practices to individual needs, whilst taking medical considerations into account, Yoga Therapy is more effective than general Yoga practice as a safe means of treating medical conditions. Yoga Therapy is applicable to a great variety of conditions including anxiety, depression, low back pain, arthritis, cancer, hypertension, HIV/Aids, heart conditions, hyperventilation, asthma, mental illness, womans health problems, IBS, diabetes, MS, ME, fibromyalgia and this list is not exhaustive! Yoga Therapy can also promote positive health for pregnancy and childbirth, mothers, babies, children, reproductive health in women, men and the elderly. Yoga Therapy cultivates body/mind integration and a sense of harmony with life. It promotes the innate healing resources of the body, helping restore the proper functioning of the various bodily systems. Medical research provides increasing evidence that Yoga Therapy is effective. Yoga Therapists are experienced Yoga Teachers, who have undertaken a further two years Yoga Therapy Diploma Course with The Yoga Biomedical Trust, which provides grounding in modern medicine and the application of Yoga to medical conditions. Yoga Therapy can be practiced in conjunction with any medical treatment you are already receiving and also in tandem with other complementary therapies. No prior experience of Yoga is necessary before starting.
