​
Yoga Therapy differs from the regular practice of yoga in that individualized poses are given to a student who's physical/emotional/spiritual obstacles cannot be addressed in general classes. Unlike Physical Therapy, yoga therapeutics addresses each student "holistically" to help the student unearth the root of the issue that impedes well-being. Asanas (physical poses), pranayama (breath work) and meditation are the tools of yoga therapeutics.
