Yoga therapy

The term "yoga" refers to a broad range of breathing techniques, strengthening exercises, postures, and meditation techniques that can be traced back to ancient India. Yoga therapy aims to restore our inner equilibrium between mind, body, and spirit. Yoga, according to research, can improve our attention, reduce stress, reduce muscle tension, and limit inflammation, among other health benefits.

Yoga therapy, when combined with complementary therapies such as mindfulness, can also increase our emotional awareness. Yoga, for example, requires inward-thinking, which promotes self-confidence and an improved ability to resist the urge to abuse one's body with drugs and alcohol. Negative emotions such as shame, guilt, anger, and hostility are released as practitioners become more centered. Yoga practitioners frequently become more compassionate toward themselves and, as a result, toward others.

Yoga, despite the time and effort required, improves overall physical and mental health, aiding in the prevention of the negative physical and emotional consequences of long-term drug and alcohol use. It has the ability to restore balance, inner peace, and overall well-being that may have been lacking for many years.
