Yoga therapy or Yoga Chikitsa is a new, popular and powerful movement in Yoga today that is still trying to define itself and its scope of application. However, for the most part, modern Yoga therapy, following the asana as Yoga model, consists primarily of an adaptation of asanas or asana styles to treat disease and improve health. This view of Yoga is different from and a reduced version of classical Yoga that is defined primarily in terms of spiritual practice and deep meditation (Sadhana and Samadhi). Any therapy must rest upon a system of medicine for diagnosis and overall treatment strategies.
A therapeutic method – whether herbs, drugs, asana or pranayama – cannot be applied independently of a medical orientation and an examination of the patient as a whole. So if one is practicing Yoga therapy, the question arises as to according to what system of medicine that therapy is being applied?
Modern Yoga therapy largely consists of the application of Yoga asanas as an adjunct physical therapy for the treatment of diseases as primarily diagnosed and treated by modern medicine. Modern Yoga therapists aim at working with doctors, nurses and other biomedically trained professionals in hospitals, and rehabilitation settings.
Yogic System
a yogic system of medicine not simply in terms of asana or body, mind and spirit. a or physical therapy, but also in regards to internal medicine or diet, herbs and drugs. yogic system of medicine not simply treating the physical body but also for treating the mind, emotions and psychological disorders. It's already exists in the form of Ayurveda. its view of the body and mind, nature and healing from the background of Yoga philosophy as outlined through the twenty-five tattvas of the Samkhya system. Ayurveda provides us a complete mind body system of medicine in terms of all aspects of diagnosis and treatment that reflects a Vedic and Yogic approach, values and wisdom.

A Yogic System of Medicine is Required For a full application of the methods of Yoga for healing purposes, we need a complete medical system that follows the philosophy, principles and practices of Yoga, and that can employ not only asana as a therapy but also pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana and samadhi, and which follows a yogic life style (yamas and niyama). While modern medicine can be helpful as a background for applying the physical aspects of Yoga, it lacks the yogic understanding of life and the human being for a full application of all the branches of Yoga for body, mind and spirit
BACK PAIN-JOINT PAIN-ARTHRITIS - SHOULDER AND NECK PAIN, KNEE PAIN, ANGLE
Many recent studies have shown the benefits of movement-based therapies for those suffering from chronic pain. Yoga in particular, has been proven to alleviate both pain and depression, which often go hand in hand with chronic pain patients. The American Pain Society recently released a study by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) explaining that imaging studies have shown both chronic pain sufferers and depressed patients have decreased gray matter in their brains.
Gray matter is simply brain tissue with numerous cell bodies. It is located in the cerebral cortex and subcortical areas. The NIH study offers evidence that yoga actually increases the gray matter in the brain, specifically in the insula or internal structures of the cerebral cortex, thus providing greater pain tolerance.
The slow rhythmic breathing of yoga helps chronic pain sufferers to reduce their stress levels, lower their heart rate and calm their autonomic nervous system. Slowing the autonomic nervous system also reduces cortisol and epinephrine levels in the body.
High amounts of cortisol and epinephrine over a long period of time can cause inflammation in the body. Inflammation leads to joint and muscle pain.
Using pranayama techniques to activate the parasympathetic nervous system will also increase the patient’s ability to deal with the stress of chronic pain,
NO PILLS - TRY YOGA
A study published in 2004’s Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback found that participants who practiced yoga experienced not only improved total sleep time, but sleep
efficiency, resulting in increased total wake time. Participants also demonstrated improved sleep onset latency—falling asleep more quickly, and wake time after sleep onset waking up earlier.
“If you suffer from insomnia, whether often or occasionally, yoga can help.
Through relaxing physical exercise, breathing techniques and complete relaxation, you can promote more regular and restful sleeping patterns without resorting to sleep-inducing drugs. Such drugs interfere with your body’s natural sleep cycle and can create psychological dependence and undesirable side effects.”
DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY
Depression impacts 17 million American adults annually, often contributing to severe impairments in physical and social functioning. Women are roughly more likely to suffer from depressive disorders including major depression and dysthymia. New research published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine suggests that a 12-week yoga intervention may help to curb both depressive symptoms, and alter biomarkers associated with stress and poor health.

YOGA FOR CHRONIC DISEASES
One potential explanation for a reduced inflammatory response is that regular yoga practice may alter gene expression and protein synthesis. Epigenetics refers to the study of these changes in gene expression or phenotype that do not involve alterations of an underlying DNA sequence, or genotype. Epigenetic changes occur naturally in living organisms and are influenced by several factors including age, the environment, lifestyle and disease. DNA methylation is one of the most commonly studied characteristics of epigenetic modification.
YOGA PRACTICE- REDUCE DIABETES RISK
Emerging evidence shows that mindfulness practices like yoga and meditation stimulate the relaxation response (PNS activation), which counteracts anxious arousal. Brain imaging studies also suggest that mindfulness-based therapies are linked to positive changes in neural networks associated with increasing inhibition (anterior cingulate cortex) and reducing ruminative thoughts (default mode network). This may explain why a systemic review of yoga trials with individuals with types 2 diabetes found that regular yoga practice was associated with improved glycemic and insulin resistance and lipid profiles, decreased hypertension, and healthier body weight composition (BMI)
Regular yoga practice will help to control lifestyle diseases.
When we think of yoga and healthy aging, we usually think of things like improving mobility or retaining the range of motion of the joints. However, the holy grail of efforts to age well really lies in slowing the aging of the brain.
Some of the risk factors for developing those Alzheimer’s, dementia, or Parkinson’s are genetic predispositions. However, there are also many lifestyle factors that seem to put you at a higher risk and we know that diet also play a major role. We also know that appropriate sleep is very important in lowering our risk for developing conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
And, in certain areas, yoga is very effective at promoting lifestyle changes that may prove down the road to actually be ways to prevent these conditions. but it makes sense that diet, movement and exercise will have positive effects on our health and brain as we age. Staying active, not only physically but socially as well, is another way that we can actually improve brain health. We also know that just using yoga tools to improve our stress management skills also can have a potentially very powerful effect on overall brain health as we get older.
REGULAR PRACTISE YOGA WILL HELP TO REDUCE CORTISOL LEVELS which are a marker for ongoing levels of stress and improvements in memory, improvements in cognitive functioning. as well as lowering of stress which may have a preventative effect on the brain over time and yoga helps to retain youthful body and skin as well
Strong muscles are associated with strong bones, and persistently weak muscles are linked with weak bones. Harold Frost, who developed the

frequent and varied movement of the spine, such as in yoga, is likely to help counteract bone loss and even stimulate bone strengthening in the osteoporotic spine. Indeed, any exercises that strengthen muscles that support the spine may be useful to prevent or ameliorate the effects of vertebral bone loss. ...yoga is the perfect solution to prevent Osteoporosis
YOGA FOR BALANCING THE CORE, RELEASING THE LOW BACK AND IMPROVING WELL-BEING
The psoas muscle is one of the most important muscles in the body, because of its central location and interconnectedness with other parts of the body.
The largest hip flexors in the body, the psoas muscles have many other functions which affect our health and well-being in numerous ways. The two psoas muscles are the deepest muscles of the core, and as such play an important role in stabilization of the spine and prevention of low back pain. The psoas muscles also support the internal organs, and via their movement, facilitate lymphatic flow.
The functions of the psoas muscles have been linked to psychological well-being as well, because of their close connection to our breath and the stress response.
the importance of the psoas for structural health; i.e. the connection between the psoas and the 'core' including common imbalances, potential issues of a "tight" psoas or imbalance between the 'core' and psoas; how to spot these imbalances and what to do to relieve them.
The course includes a yoga practice to release and lengthen the psoas while also strengthening both the core and psoas in order to create an optimal relationship between the two.
Yoga postures for diabetes switch back and forth between asanas (poses) that contract specific areas of the abdomen and asanas that relax those areas. This alternation between abdominal contractions and release stimulates the pancreas, increasing blood and oxygen supply. As a result, the pancreatic cells, buffeted by nutrients and fresh blood flow, undergo a rejuvenation that improves the organ’s ability to produce insulin. Yogic breathing practices also work in a similar way to stimulate healthy pancreatic function.
In addition to postures that directly stimulate the pancreas and aid in insulin production, the exercise yoga provides reduces blood sugar levels and helps relieve one of the main symptoms of diabetes: hypoglycemia. Yogic exercise has also been shown to reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and triglyceride levels, both of which are often accompanying symptoms for diabetes.
In addition to breathing exercises and yoga postures for diabetes, the meditation segment included in most yoga for diabetes classes has been shown to encourage proper functioning of the endocrine glands through relaxing the sympathetic nervous system.
But yoga’s benefits for those with diabetes aren’t just physical: the process can help patients with the condition or its pre-indicators on more fundamental levels as well. By calming the awareness and integrating the mind with the body, yoga can relieve the daily stresses that often lie at the heart of diabetic symptoms.
The stress we experience in our day to day lives can accumulate, causing high blood pressure and high cholesterol and leading to “emotional eating,” which in turn leads to obesity. All of these symptoms of stress play key roles in the development of diabetes, and, if managed properly, can prevent the condition from developing or even turn the tide against it.
For those looking for how to prevent diabetes or gain relief from the disease, adopting a healthy lifestyle that incorporates yoga postures for diabetes can offer patients with the condition of its pre-indicators a new lease on life..
