What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga comprises a wide range of mind/body practices, from postural and breathing exercises to deep relaxation and meditation. Yoga therapy tailors these to the health needs of the individual. It helps to promote all-round positive health, as well as assisting particular medical conditions. The therapy is particularly appropriate for many chronic conditions that persist despite conventional medical treatment.
This therapy originated in the age-old tradition of yoga that emerged from the Indian sub-continent many millennia ago. Yoga has been used to complement traditional Indian medicine (Ayurveda) for thousands of years.
Yoga therapy is, by comparison, in its infancy having been created by a union of traditional medicine and yoga some eighty years ago. The pioneer of this process, Swami Kuvalayananda, applied the methods of modern medical science to study the physiological effects and therapeutic applications of yoga in the early 1920's in Bombay (Mumbai). In the ensuing decades these practices spread throughout India.
Why train to be a Yoga Therapist with the YTTC?
The YTTC Yoga Therapy Modular programme is guided and supported by the British Council for Yoga Therapy (BCYT). The BCYT is responsible for setting and maintaining Yoga Therapy training standards and code of professional conduct. Attendance on individual modules also satisfies the requirements for undertaking Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training. CPD enables the teacher to develop teaching skills whilst at the same time deepen their knowledge and understanding of yoga.
Yoga therapists are trained to understand the nature of medical conditions diagnosed by a patient's General Practitioner or Hospital Consultant. They design individual programmes of yoga therapy that complement and support each patient's medical treatment, and work with the patient, usually on an individual basis, to enable them to practice appropriate yoga for their condition. The yoga programmes are holistic, aiming to treat not just the condition, but also the whole person, empowering them and involving them in their own health care.
YTTC yoga therapists have sufficient knowledge of medical issues, and the specialised applications of yoga, to enable them to work safely and effectively with people suffering from a wide range of health conditions. They are also equipped with the skills necessary to communicate and liaise with medical practitioners.
