In yoga health, what is this so-called Therapeutic Yoga and its essentials? How is this done?

| By | Category: Yoga Health


Therapeutic Yoga is essentially a health system of self-treatment. According to yoga view, diseases, disorders and sicknesses are the result of defective ways of living, bad habits, lack of proper knowledge of things in relation to the individual’s life, and improper food. The diseases are the result of a state of a short or continuous malfunctioning of the body system. This malfunction is caused by an imbalanced internal condition, created due to certain errors of the individuals.

Since the root cause of a disease lies in the mistakes of the individual, its cure also lies in the corrections of those mistakes by the same individual. In other words, it is the individual himself who is responsible in both cases; that is, for causing as well as for curing the disease.

This is the basic assumption of Therapeutic Yoga about the nature of the trouble and its remedy, thus there is total reliance on the effort of the patient himself. The yoga guru shows only the path and works no more than as a guide to the patient.

As you are asking as to how is this done, there are three steps of treatment:

1.Proper diet
2.Proper yoga practice
3.Proper knowledge of things concerning the life of an individual

By following these steps, a disease is cured. The disease/s referred here are specially the chronic type, not the communicable diseases.
