Practice Therapeutic Yoga
Regular yoga practice builds endurance, enhances flexibility, encourages compassion and self-discipline, and cultivates a sense of calm and well-being. It brings undeniable shifts in self-perception, awareness, and the energy around us—allowing us to truly enjoy life.
What is therapeutic yoga?
Do you know what therapeutic yoga is? Just another marketing trick? And isn’t yoga already therapeutic by nature? Yes, of course—yoga has an inherently therapeutic nature that positively impacts our lives physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. This practice is adapted for people recovering from surgeries, trauma, or musculoskeletal disorders. Therapeutic yoga combines gentle yoga postures, breathing techniques, and meditation. It is an excellent choice for those who need something light yet effective to restore balance and improve physical and mental health.
The practice is gentle and can literally be done by anyone. In addition to strengthening the body and mind, it protects us from future injuries and provides a solid foundation the body needs daily. Therapeutic yoga is especially suitable for issues related to the musculoskeletal system, respiratory organs, gastrointestinal tract, and blood pressure. Practicing therapeutic yoga also helps with insomnia and stress-filled daily life.
Why therapeutic yoga?
Is your body in pain? Most of us experience different kinds of pain every day. Yoga improves posture, relieves back, shoulder, and lower back pain, and reduces joint stiffness. Therapeutic yoga is especially useful during diets or changes in nutritional habits as it helps normalize digestion. It increases lung capacity, which is why it's often practiced by smokers trying to quit or people with respiratory issues.

Beyond the physical benefits, therapeutic yoga calms the mind, reduces stress, and balances the nervous system—in other words, it helps us achieve a healthy mind in a healthy body. It strengthens internal organs, boosts the immune system, and normalizes blood pressure. Regular practice improves circulation, supports metabolism, and balances the nervous system. The exercises are suitable for you even if you practice yoga at home and want to deepen the benefits. Therapeutic yoga also allows you to experience the true effect of the postures on both physical and mental levels.
Albena Georgieva, therapeutic yoga instructor with the Art of Living Foundation, advises: “In therapeutic yoga, we use selected postures, techniques, and practices that bring immense benefits to maintaining harmony and balance between body, mind, and spirit. It helps with various conditions such as arthritis, spinal misalignments, lung conditions, heart problems, and more. Why go to therapeutic yoga? Because regular practice improves our health, increases our energy, helps us sleep better, and contributes to inner peace, personal growth, self-improvement, and a sense of fulfillment.”
