Welcome to Yoga Therapy Centre
Yoga therapy is the adaptation of yoga practices for people with health considerations. It can aid in the alleviation of many different ailments, including back pain, hypertension, heart conditions, asthma, diabetes, hyperacidity, IBS, cancer, MS, ME, migraine, RSI and stress.
Yoga therapy uses physical postures, breathing practices, relaxation techniques and meditation to help restore body/mind balance and promote natural healing. Once you have learned the practices appropriate to your condition you will be able to use them to care for your own health. Contrary to popular myth, you do not have to be fit or flexible to benefit from yoga or yoga therapy.
The Yoga Biomedical Trust is a registered charity (no. 285265), established in 1983 to facilitate the integrated growth of yoga therapy in the UK. A leader in its field, both nationally and internationally, the Trust provides yoga therapy to the public and carries out yoga therapy research. Its yoga therapists are qualified yoga teachers who have undergone two years of further, specialist training.
The Trust offers consultations and classes at the NHS Kentish Town Health Centre (London) and elsewhere.
What is yoga therapy?
Yoga therapy in its present form is a new discipline, created by the marriage of traditional yoga with modern medicine. By tailoring yoga practices to individual needs, whilst taking medical considerations into account, yoga therapy is more effective than general yoga practice as a safe means of treating medical conditions.
Yoga therapy is applicable to a great variety of conditions, including anxiety, low back pain, arthritis, hypertension, heart conditions, hyperventilation, asthma, irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes, multiple scelorosis, chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.
Yoga therapy can also promote positive health for pregnancy and childbirth, mothers and babies, children, reproductive health in women and men, and the elderly.
Yoga Therapy cultivates body/mind integration and a sense of harmony with life. It promotes the innate healing resources of the body, helping restore the proper functioning of the various bodily systems.
Medical research provides increasing evidence that yoga therapy is effective.
Yoga therapists are experienced yoga teachers, who have undertaken a further two-year Yoga Therapy Diploma Course with the Yoga Biomedical Trust, which provides grounding in modern medicine and the application of yoga to medical conditions.
Yoga Therapy can be practised in conjunction with any medical treatments you are already receiving, and also in tandem with other complementary therapies. No prior experience of yoga is necessary before starting.
