A holistic approach to health

Health is defined as a state of well-being. Yoga Therapy encompasses the proper use of the body, correct breathing, the ability to relax, the power to focus, and the development of mind-emotion awareness.

According to the Yoga Therapy approach, for a person to be healthy, the body, mind, and emotions must be in balance and harmony both within themselves and with each other. A person must know how to use their body in daily life, how to breathe, how to relax, and how to focus.

Today’s fast-paced and stressful living conditions can control the individual’s life and leave little room for making healthy choices. As a result, a life lived randomly and without awareness may emerge, and the price of this can be the gradual loss of health.

Although Yoga Therapy is applied to address specific health problems that arise in a person’s life, it also fosters a holistic healing consciousness thanks to its comprehensive approach.

Through Yoga Therapy practices, individuals can gain a more realistic, positive, accepting, and calm perspective of themselves. As the body-mind dialogue improves, the individual begins to listen to the needs of their body.

Yoga Therapy postures have a multi-dimensional impact on the body. While tissues, muscles, bones, joints, organs, and systems gain physical health, balance and peace can also be supported on a mental and emotional level.
