Yoga therapy is the process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and well-being through the application of the teachings and practices of yoga, according to IAYT. “Yoga as a tradition encompasses a wide range of mind and body practices, including breathing exercises, deep relaxation, meditation, and the well-known asanas or physical exercises,” explains Wendy Landry, founder of Om Prana Yoga and IAYT-certified yoga therapist. “Yoga therapy tailors these yoga practices to the specific health needs of an individual, in many cases collaborating with medical professionals. This promotes a holistic approach to improvement of health and can assist in the treatment of specific medical conditions, including back pain, injury recovery, heart disease, diabetes, digestive disorders, anxiety, depression, insomnia and much more.”
Research shows that yoga is poised to make major breakthroughs in mainstream healthcare as a powerful, non-invasive and cost-effective complement to Western and Integrative Medicine. According to the 2016 Yoga in America national study conducted by Yoga Journal and Yoga Alliance, over 36 million U.S. adults practice yoga. The study indicated that almost half of current practitioners started practicing yoga to improve their overall health. One significant trend to emerge from the study is the use of yoga as medical therapy. According to the study, top reasons for beginning a yoga practice include stress relief, physical therapy, a medical condition, mental health, and prenatal health. Research studies have shown yoga to be beneficial for people with a wide variety of health conditions including cardiovascular disease, cancer, arthritis, eating disorders, and chronic pain. General health benefits of yoga include stress relief, increased strength and flexibility, and improved concentration.
