What\u2019s Yoga?<\/h2>

Yoga is an ancient philosophy<\/strong> born in the Indian<\/strong> subcontinent around 5,000 years ago.
Literally, the word \u201cyoga<\/strong>\u201d comes from the Sanskrit<\/strong> word \u201cYuj<\/strong>\u201d, that means union<\/strong>. Yoga is indeed considered the union between our body, our mind and our soul; and it\u2019s also the union of the individual<\/strong> energy<\/strong> with the universal<\/strong> energy<\/strong>.<\/p>

The practice of Yoga that is taught in the Western countries is very different from the ancient Yoga, that was based mainly on meditation<\/strong> and breathing exercises (pranayama<\/strong>).<\/p>

When yoga become popular in the West and since the society experiment a huge change in habits, the practice evolved<\/strong> following the need of the population.<\/p>

The main point of modern yoga is that mind<\/strong> and body<\/strong> are strictly connected<\/strong>: to have a still mind you need a strong and stable body. Hence the practice evolved becoming a complete physical activities.<\/p>

A regular practice of Yoga has many benefits<\/strong>, which are being recognized also by modern medicine<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Yoga-Therapy<\/h2>

      \u00a0<\/p>

      We speak about yoga-therapy<\/strong> when the teachings of Yoga (physical exercises, breathing techniques, meditation and philosophy) are adapted<\/strong> to a specific<\/strong> person<\/strong> to help her\/him to heal from a disease, to find an emotional and physical balance and to improve<\/strong> his\/her quality of life<\/strong>.<\/p>


      The Yoga-therapy is not a substitute<\/strong> of modern medicine, but it\u2019s a complementary<\/strong> therapy.<\/p>

      The Yoga teacher can make diagnosis or prescribe medication only when she\/he has a University degree in Medicine.<\/p>

      Yoga-therapy is usually defined as the \u201cprocess of empowering individuals<\/strong> to progress toward improved health and well-being through the application of the philosophy and practice of Yoga\u201d (an IAYT Definition).<\/p>

      The principles at the basis of Yoga-therapy<\/h3>

      The application of Yoga- Therapy depends on 3 principles:<\/p>

      • shakti-krama<\/strong> which is the use of Yoga to gain physical and mental strength.<\/li>
      • chikits\u00e2-krama<\/strong> or the use of Yoga to heal problems. This means: if there is a problem it needs to be fixed, if there is no problem you need to learn how to protect yourself, if there is no problem and we learnt how to protect ourselves then we need to keep out body the condition of not catching any problems,<\/li>
      • the last principle is \u00e2dhy\u00e2tmika-krama<\/strong>, which is based on the use of yoga to go beyond the material level of our lives and to understand that the Ego and the idea of \u201cI\u201d, \u201cMe\u201d are just limiting concepts.<\/li><\/ul>
