About:
Yoga therapy is an emerging holistic health field in the West that
empowers individuals to progress toward improved health and well-
being through the application of yoga. In India it is traditionally
referred to as yoga-cikitsâ, meaning to oppose disease. The
principle tools of yoga therapy are postures, breathing, meditation
and yoga lifestyle.
Our approach to yoga therapy provides therapeutic benefits to
those who need more than general health and fitness. It blends
Ayurveda principles with yoga to create an adaptive form of
therapy emphasizing restoration, stress, pain relief, and individual
modification.
It best used as adjunct for those with chronic health conditions,
including low back pain, mental health disorders, cancers,
metabolic conditions, cardiovascular problems and muscular-
skeletal challenges.
The yoga for therapy program is appropriate for those who have
completed 200 hours of yoga training or current licensed health
and medical providers not limited to nurses, bodyworkers, athletic
trainers, chiropractors, psychologists and doctors of natural health.
The yoga as therapy program is a part of the KCFitnessLink’s
1000-hour yoga therapy training.
