yoga therapy
Meditative movement treatment
Yoga therapy is the application of yoga practices—postures, breathing exercises, meditation—to address specific health conditions or therapeutic goals.
Unlike general yoga classes, yoga therapy is individualized, often working alongside conventional medical treatment for conditions like chronic pain, anxiety, or recovery from injury.
A yoga therapist tailors practices to the client's particular needs: Her yoga therapy sessions focused on managing her back pain.
