Medical yoga therapy is a personalized, holistic approach that uses specific yoga practices for the prevention and treatment of medical conditions, working alongside conventional medical treatments.
It integrates physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), mindfulness, and meditation to address individual health concerns.
How It Differs from General Yoga
The key distinction is the personalized, clinical approach. A certified yoga therapist will conduct a thorough assessment of your medical history and specific health concerns to create a tailored plan, unlike a general group yoga class designed for overall fitness.
