Yoga therapy, also known as clinical yoga, is a mind-body practice that combines yoga with psychological techniques to help improve mental, emotional, and physical health. Yoga therapy can help with stress relief, relaxation, and managing symptoms or underlying conditions. Yoga therapy sessions often include:
Asana practice: Physical postures that are tailored to specific health conditions
Pranayama: Breathing techniques that regulate energy flow
Mudras: Hand gestures that channel energy
Meditation: Mental focus to calm the mind and promote healing
Yoga typically therapy differs from traditional yoga, which is primarily focused on personal transcendence for healthy individuals. Yoga therapy aims to holistically treat a range of psychological or somatic challenges.
