Yoga Therapy

Yoga Therapy uses yoga postures, breathing exercises, meditation, and guided imagery to improve mental and physical health. It tailors traditional yoga to address specific psychological or medical conditions.

Key Points:

• Applications: Stress and anxiety reduction, trauma recovery (trauma-sensitive yoga), chronic pain, and mood regulation.
• Core Components: Mindful movement, controlled breathing (pranayama), and relaxation/meditation (savasana).
• Evidence: Growing research supports its efficacy for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and overall well-being.
• Practice Settings: Individual or group sessions, often led by certified yoga therapists with additional mental health training.
