About Brwnskn Yoga Wellness Initiative

What Is Yoga Therapy?

 

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 the discipline is all about stretching or movement. In fact, yoga therapy can help people who can't move at all, as well as active individuals!

What's the Difference Between Yoga & Yoga Therapy?

 

A general public yoga class can certainly ease everyday aches, pains, and mood complaints. But a yoga therapy session 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. The practices your yoga therapist recommends could include the gentlest movements (or no movement at all), a vigorous physical routine, a relaxing breathing technique or a meditation, or any combination of yogic tools like these-it all depends on what you need to increase your health and well-being.

Many practicing yoga therapists also hold licenses in other health fields. Yoga therapy can complement physical, occu­pational, and massage therapy; psychotherapy; and more. 

Although they do not diagnose or treat diseases, IAYT-certified yoga therapists are trained in anatomy, physiology, and mental health; this allows them to interact with clients' other healthcare professionals effectively and to competently suggest referrals when needed.

Yoga therapy can complement a client's usual healthcare.

Although yoga has been practiced in some form for millennia, we are just beginning to understand these mechanisms from a Western scientific perspective.

A tool applied in one area-say, a breathing practice­ can profoundly affect a completely different area of the body or the mind. For example, a yoga therapist might teach a client a particular type of breathwork ("pranayama") to help them address their chronic

asthma; if the client practices that breathing exercise regularly, she might find that her long-time anxiety has eased, too, or perhaps his habitual neck tension has disappeared.

Researchers think this works paitly because of yoga's ability to regulate the nervous system and possibly to affect the way the brain processes information. Another reason yoga therapy works so well is that it's not a treatment done to a patient-yoga therapists instead empower their clients to tap into their own innate healing capabilities.

Yoga therapy clients essentially heal themselves by learning tools that can be used throughout a lifetime!

  • • Pain, including low-back pain, arthritis, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and other types of chronic pain such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome


  • • Neurologic issues and complications of stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson's disease, and traumatic brain injury (TBI)


  • • Mental health, including concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, insomnia, and others


  • • Major illnesses like diabetes, cancer, and heart disease.


  • • Healthy aging, including osteoporosis and fall prevention


  • Yoga therapy can also support people who are dealing with stress, and those who simply want to increase their well­ being and overall health- expecting and postpartum moms, children with special needs, and already-healthy people who want to feel even more amazing.
