Did you know that yoga therapy has been endorsed by medical science for one hundred years?

Whilst the use of yoga practices to alleviate physical and mental health conditions may well be as ancient as yoga itself, only in the past century has yoga therapy come to the fore as an evidence-based treatment approach for chronic medical disorders.

It is often argued that the development of yoga as an intervention to treat specific health conditions arose during the 1920s, when innovative yogis such as Swami Kuvalayananda and Sri Yogendra first placed yoga under the microscope. Swami Kuvalayananda is in fact credited with the establishment of the first yoga research centre called Kaivalyadhama in 1924, which continues this work today.

By applying modern medical science to the practices of yoga, these early pioneering experiments began to elucidate discrete physiological effects, initiating a new way of seeing yoga as a mode of treating health problems based on the known effects of certain practices.

Swami Kuvalayanada’s work led to the coinage of yoga therapy as we understand it today; the application of yoga practices to alleviate physical and mental health conditions, promote self-care and improve overall wellbeing.

In celebration of one hundred years of yoga therapy, our Founder and Director, Heather Mason, recently wrote an article for the BHMA journal of holistic healthcare () Click below to read more 🙏

Hello Fellow Breath Warriors,

I am sending you this information in case it is of interest to you or someone you know. Please feel free to share.

I will be offering a free breathing session on the first Wednesday of each month from 18:30 to 19:15. A perfect way to wind down after your work day and have a better nights sleep.

It will include gentle movement from a seated position to warm us up and open up the respiratory system before the coherent breath practice.

First session will be on 3rd Feb 2021.

Gareth is an ultra distance runner who just before isolation was recovering from a grade 1-2 calf muscle tear. I created a 15 minute video that he could follow every day to help his calf recover and also establish new awareness of the mind body connection. This video highlights the end of the practice after 21 days of consistent practice. You can witness his ability to move with greater hip mobility and confidence.

Soon I will be creating a new video that he can follow, that will add new elements to further his journey to recovery.

It’s a great platform for runners of all abilities can follow, and with the imposed lockdown why not try it live via Zoom with me.

If interested please DM or email me.

OntheRiverSUP with my son

Early mornings are the best time to head outside. My son Colin is staying with me during this time and he has done more yoga in the last four weeks then he has done in his life. Thank you Colin for joining me to watch the sun rise and move on the water.
