Yoga Therapy

 Yoga therapy is the use of yoga postures, breathing exercises, and meditation to help individuals with specific health conditions. It can be used to improve physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Benefits of yoga therapy include improved mobility, flexibility, posture, and strength. It can also reduce stress, anxiety, and depression while increasing energy levels. Yoga therapy is suitable for people of all ages and abilities and can help with chronic conditions such as arthritis, spinal stenosis, fibromyalgia, lower back pain, sciatica, neck pain, and asthma. Yoga therapy can also be used as a form of prenatal yoga, especially when the expecting mother is suffering from complications.
