IAYT continues to work to educate the public, including potential clients and healthcare providers, about our profession. The board of directors and standing committees have recently updated IAYT’s official definition of yoga therapy to clarify the role of individual assessment and goal setting in the therapeutic relationship. Yoga therapy is the professional application of the principles and practices of yoga to promote health and well-being within a therapeutic relationship that includes personalized assessment, goal setting, lifestyle management, and yoga practices for individuals or small groups.
The goals of yoga therapy include:
- Eliminate, reduce, or manage symptoms that cause suffering
- Improve function
- Help prevent the occurrence or reoccurrence of underlying causes of illness
- Move toward improved health and wellbeing
- Yoga therapy also helps clients/students change their relationship to and identification with their condition.
Yoga therapy is the professional application of the principles and practices of Yoga to promote health and well-being within a therapeutic relationship. That includes personalized assessment, goalsetting, lifestyle management, and Yoga practices for individuals or small groups.
Although all yoga is potentially therapeutic and healing, yoga therapy is the specific application of yoga tools—postures/exercises, breathwork, meditation techniques, and more—to address an individual’s physical, mental, and emotional needs.
Cheryl, as a therapist, has in-depth training to help her assess and keep every client safe. as a yoga therapist she will work with you to address your specific goals while considering any limitations you might be experiencing.
The practices of yoga therapist could include movement ranging from gentle to vigorous breathing techniques, meditation or visualization practices, physical postures that address specific areas of discomfort or musculoskeletal imbalances, and/or a combination of many techniques.
Many people first learn about yoga through its physical practices, but a common misconception is that it’s all about stretching or movement. In fact, yoga therapy can help people who can’t move at all, as well as active individuals!
The yoga model of health is unique because it addresses every aspect of life rather than considering each body part or system separately. Yoga therapy is a safe way of working with the natural capacity of your body and mind to optimize well-being.
A general public yoga class can certainly ease everyday aches, pains, and mood complaints. But a yoga therapy session, whether one-to-one or in a small group, goes much further because it is tailored to the individual.
