Yoga therapy often is prescribed one-on-one for those who need to or prefer to participate in a private or semi-private setting due to a specific condition/injury or ailment. This individualized attention is necessary for determining and initiating the most therapeutic yoga sequencing for a particular condition. Yoga therapists work alongside physiatrists (physicians who specialize in pain), chiropractors & physical therapists to determine a comprehensive and holistic approach to healing through yoga therapy methodology. Some of the many ailments successfully treated with yoga therapy include: chronic lower and upper back problems, hypertension and heart disease, asthma and diabetes. A yoga therapist often works in conjunction with or is recommended by a physician and other medical professionals (as noted) and has specific and advanced yoga training/certification.

“Health professionals agree that good health results from a balanced state of body and mind. Chronic back pain and resulting stress lowers our resistance and immune power, resulting in a psycho-physiological imbalance that affects other areas of our life.” (preceding information per Larry Payne ~please visit his web site for more information www.samata.com) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
