14 DAY TRIAL // Yoga therapy is a new form of therapy that results from the intermingling between traditional Yoga practice and means implied by modern medicine. Traditional Yoga cures spirit and mind, while modern medicine cures physical problems.
The interconnection of the two leads to a form of therapy that cures both psychological and physical disorders and conditions. Therefore, Yoga therapy can be considered more appropriate for patients that besides relaxation and a sense of well-being search to heal various diseases.
The word "yoga" comes from Sanskrit and means "to merge" or "to bind." Yoga is often interpreted as "union" or a method of discipline.
Yoga therapy works by providing a sense of harmony integrity in the natural order of things. Emotional imbalances are healed and proper functions of bodily systems are restored. Yoga therapy does not require previous experience with the traditional yoga. It can be practiced by anyone irrespective of age, sex, religion and associated with any medical treatment or other complementary therapies.
Yoga therapy usually combines physical postures with breathing and relaxation techniques. The postures in yoga consist of simple movements in which the muscles are gently stretched and strengthened. This will provide the people that practice Yoga therapy with a general sense of health and will also enhance their flexibility, respiration, circulation and digestion.
Relaxation methods are the most important in Yoga therapy, as they can lead to efficiently treating the emotional and physical disorders. If we learn how to relax, the tension within our minds and bodies will disappear and make way to optimistic and positivist feelings and thoughts.
Breathing techniques cope with the relaxation methods in promoting calmness and tranquility. They also help us focus the mind and get rid of mental fatigue and stress.
People that go to Yoga therapy sessions can receive healing of a wide range of conditions, such as depression, anxiety, back pain, arthritis, asthma, diabetes, heart disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis etc.
Yoga therapy ameliorates arthritis symptoms and pains even in patients that suffer from severe rheumatoid arthritis. By regularly practicing yoga postures patients maintain or improve joints mobility receiving in the same time a sense of relaxation and loosening that will eventually lead to pain reduction.
Back pains can also be decreased because during Yoga therapy sessions patients learn how to exercise the spinal joints in order to improve blood circulation and healing. Instead of being increased by the movements of the spine, the pains in the back are reduced and the mind and body becomes relaxed.
Yoga therapy can be a remedy for various types of cancer, too. The therapy will not cure the individuals that suffer from cancer, but it will help them strengthen their immune system, accept and enjoy their lives. By strengthening the immune system, Yoga therapy also works against all kinds of allergies.
