5 Yoga Therapy Benefits for Your Body, Mind & Soul
Yoga is an ancient practice that combines physical postures (asanas) with breathing exercises (pranayama). It was developed by yogis thousands of years ago to promote peace of mind and overall well being. The International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT) was formed in 1989 to support the research and education in yoga and is the professional organization for Yoga Therapists worldwide.
Yoga Therapy is a branch of Yoga that prioritizes the application of the principles and practices of yoga to promote healing. Yoga Therapy involves personalized assessments (as opposed to large class sizes), goal setting, lifestyle management and yoga practices for individuals and small groups. It is tailored to the individual, unlike group classes, and looks at the individual’s wellness from a holistic point of view.
Yoga Therapy provides many benefits physically, emotionally and spiritually. Here are five of our top ones!
Stress Relief.
Yoga therapy helps reduce stress levels because it reduces tension throughout the body. This allows the nervous system to relax and release endorphins, which are natural chemicals that help relieve feelings of stress.
Improved Sleep Quality.
Many people struggle with sleep issues such as insomnia, restless leg syndrome, and snoring. Yoga therapy can help improve sleep quality by reducing stress levels and improving breathing patterns. It also improves blood flow and circulation, allowing oxygen to reach the brain and other organs.
Better Mood.
Yoga therapy helps us achieve balance between mind, body, and spirit. This means better mood, improved sleep, and a healthier life.
Increased Strength and Flexibility.
Yoga therapy improves strength and flexibility by increasing muscle tone and range of motion. It also reduces tension and stress, which can lead to increased energy levels.
