Yogic Chikitsa or Yoga Therapy

All forms of yoga are known to have therapeutic benefits for the human body and mind. Ever since the evolution of yoga around 5,000 years ago, yoga therapy has been deep rooted in our civilization. Practiced by sages and gurus all around the world, this kind of therapy focuses on the healing aspects of yoga through the application of specific instruments such as breathing techniques, meditation practices, as well as postures.

Indian philosophers mentioned three kinds of sickness and these were:

  • Spiritual Problems
  • Mental Problems
  • Physical Problems

Yoga therapy takes into account every aspect of the human life – physical, emotional, and mental. Though most people take their first steps towards yoga through physical practices, it is important to remember that the yogic lifestyle is much more than a few stretched and poses.

Make your health better with Yoga Theraphy

Yogic Chikitsa is unique in the way that it treats the whole body as a whole rather than focusing on an individual part or system. It works with the natural capacity of your mind and body so your inner strength can be optimized.

While your regular yoga sessions are good to lift your mood and ease common aches and pains, a personal yoga therapy session goes further beyond as it takes into account you as an individual.
