Yoga Therapy uses the principles
of yoga - an ancient Indian system of health dating back some 5,000
years - postures (asanas), breathing exercises (pranayama), relaxation
techniques and meditation, to restore the body and mind to good
health and correct the imbalances that cause disease. It is a holistic
system of therapy that maintains, like Chinese medicine, that illness
comes about in the body and mind, as a result of imbalances in the
"life force" or prana. When the prana is manipulated through
the use of yoga techniques and exercises, blockages are removed
and good health and vitality are restored. Yoga Therapy uses
the techniques of yoga, and tailors them to the individual and their
particular condition.
