Yoga Therapies in India

Yoga Therapy is the science of implementing various yoga processes in curing illness. These processes help in restoring mental and physical harmony of a person. This therapy is also referred as Yoga-Chikitsa in Sanskrit. In this therapy physical, mental and emotional balances are harmonized which brings tranquillity to an individual's life. The Yoga Therapy focuses on an individual because health condition varies from person to person. This personal approach of treatment ensures harmony between body, mind and spirit of an individual.

The treatment approach of this therapy differs from modern medical science. In this practice the harmony between the body, mind and soul i.e. tridoshas is restored instead of identifying the pathogenic factor of the body. According to the philosophy of yoga the root cause of any disease is imbalance between the energy levels of the body.

Yoga therapy involves six steps for overall well being. These steps are :

1. Right Posture – Asanas

There are a set of postures that tone up the muscles and internal organs, revitalize the system and creates overall awareness of the body. They also energize and stimulate the body’s major endocrine glands. And the toning up of the internal organs prevents and cures many illnesses.

2. Right Breathing – Pranayama

The process of breathing is so simple that we ignore its power on our body, mind and soul. Each time we inhale we take in the oxygen which burns nutrients and provides us energy. And during exhale we release toxic waste of body in the form of carbon dioxide. Breathing is related to our mind and it makes us excited, calm, tense or relaxed. The proper breathing establishes harmony among various organs which revitalises the body.
