What Is Yoga Therapy?

Yoga therapy is the adaptation of yoga practices for people with health issues. Although general yoga classes can improve general health and resolve mild complaints, they may be ineffective - or even harmful - for serious conditions. In such cases yoga therapy can help people by tailoring yoga to their individual needs, taking into account their health problems, constitution and circumstances.

Yoga therapy is beginning to take a place in complementary and alternative medicine as one of the most effective methods for managing a wide range of conditions. The British Council for Yoga Therapy is close to finalising nationally-recognised standards for this new profession, including recognition within the NHS, and scientific research is being carried out to demonstrate and extend its range of effective applications. We believe that yoga therapy will come to play an important role in health care over the coming years.

In 2010 Yogacampus will be offering a number of training modules in specific aspects of yoga therapy with the intention also to launch a new yoga therapy diploma course later in the year.  These training modules are primarily aimed at existing yoga teachers and trainee teachers.
