Yoga Therapy is a wellrecognized complementary system of healing and health care. Though it is an ancient discipline that had its origin in India, Yoga Therapy has been rapidly embraced all over the world. Yogacarya Sri T Krishnamacharya, a pioneer among the contemporary yogis, significantly revived this ancient system in a way applicable to our modern times. TKV Desikachar aided much to the recognition of yoga therapy as an efficient healing system and spread its teachings all over the globe.
Yoga therapy is a discipline that offers a broad range of tools that can be useful in promoting health, supporting healing and encouraging personal transformation. Though in contemporary times Yoga is often associated with the practice of physical postures, there are many other invaluable tools of yoga vital to the process of self-empowered healing.
