| Description: | Yoga therapy seeks to utilize the various components of Yoga in order to holistically heal an individual of various ailments or to prevent illnesses from occurring. Yoga therapy is distinct from western approaches to medicine in that yoga therapy aims to heal the underlying cause of an illness rather than treating individual symptoms. According to yoga therapy, various aspects of the self are interrelated. For example, the mind will affect the emotional self and the physical self. Such an approach means that a Yoga therapist may help a client change many aspects of their lives- such as diet and overall lifestyle. Additionally, the yoga therapist may recommend specific asanas or pranayam techniques to treat certain illness. |
