Yoga is a spiritual tradition that began in India about 5,000 years ago. Yoga is an ancient practice of harmonizing the body with the mind and breath using physical poses, breathing exercises and meditation. At its most practical level, yoga is a process of learning about oneself. Ultimately it can lead to self-discovery, self-mastery and self-realization. Sounds therapeutic, right? Yoga therapy is a process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well-being through the application of the teachings and practices of yoga. That certainly sounds like yoga.
Yoga therapy is a type of therapy that uses yoga postures, breathing exercises, meditation, and guided imagery to improve mental and physical health. The holistic focus of yoga therapy encourages the integration of mind, body, and spirit. Yoga therapy is a growing field and scientific evidence has begun to emphasize its efficacy. It is used to treat existing mental and physical health issues, but can also be used as a self-care strategy for prevention and maintenance.
Potential benefits from yoga therapy include stress reduction, psychological well-being, improved diet, and efficient functioning of bodily systems. As more and more research shows that yoga is helpful for a wide range of conditions, many people who were previously skeptical are starting to seriously consider yoga as an option. And although yoga as a practice is therapeutic, there are significant differences between a general yoga class and working with a yoga therapist.
Yoga is not about touching your toes, it's about what you learn on the way down. If you listen to your body when it whispers, you don't have to hear it scream.
Rather than focusing on yoga techniques, a yoga therapist focuses on your needs through listening, questioning, observation and appropriate hands-on adjustments, and will prepare a treatment plan that will specifically benefit you. Although all yoga is potentially therapeutic and healing, yoga therapy is the specific application of yogic tools—postures/exercises, breathwork, meditation techniques, and more—to address an individual’s physical, mental, and emotional needs. Many people first learn about yoga through its physical practices, but a common misconception is that it’s all about stretching or movement. In fact, yoga therapy can help people who can’t move at all, as well as active individuals!
The yogic model of health is unique because it addresses every aspect of life rather than considering each body part or system separately. Yoga therapy is a safe way of working with the natural capacity of your body and mind to optimize well-being. A general public yoga class can certainly ease everyday aches, pains, and mood complaints. But a yoga therapy session, whether one-to-one or in a small group, goes much further because it is tailored to the individual. Yoga therapists have in-depth training to help them assess and keep their clients safe. They work with you to address your specific goals while considering any limitations you might be experiencing.
Yoga therapy recognizes that the healing process is unique to each individual and modifies practices appropriately depending upon the individual characteristics. The goals of yoga therapy include eliminating, reducing, or managing symptoms that cause suffering; improving function and helping to prevent the occurrence or re-occurrence of underlying causes of illness; and moving toward improved health and wellbeing.
