Yoga therapy is a holistic healing approach that uses the principles and practices of yoga to support physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It combines movement, breath control, meditation, and relaxation techniques to address specific health conditions or improve overall wellness. Unlike general yoga classes, yoga therapy is personalized to meet individual needs, often focusing on specific ailments like back pain, anxiety, depression, arthritis, or high blood pressure.

It is commonly used in rehabilitation, mental health support, chronic disease management, and stress reduction. The gentle stretches and poses help increase flexibility, balance, and strength, while breathing exercises improve lung capacity and calm the nervous system. Meditation and mindfulness practices in yoga therapy enhance self-awareness and emotional stability. It encourages a deeper connection between body and mind, promoting healing from within.

Yoga therapy is practiced under the guidance of a certified yoga therapist trained to adapt techniques for different conditions. It is suitable for people of all ages and abilities, including those with limited mobility.
