While in India it has always been an intrinsic value of yogic practices to have a positive effect on the practitioner’s state of health, and apart from a few exceptions, until recent times, there was no particular need to develop a strand entirely dedicated to its therapeutic aspect.
On the contrary, in the West, in recent decades, there has been a desire to give a certain impulse to this aspect, and today, yoga therapy represents a valid synthesis between the ancient wisdom of the East and the most recent knowledge of complementary medicine, biomechanics, and posturology of the West.
The complementary nature of yoga and integrative medicine is reflected in their common goal of releasing stagnant energy in meridian systems and their related organs or blood. While yoga provides a format for releasing blockage, Shiatsu and meridian theory provide a framework for understanding which poses are best for a particular condition.
This course is suitable for all yoga teachers who want to deepen their knowledge and improve their ability to assist their students. It is also beneficial for therapists and medical professionals who want to supplement their existing knowledge with new insights. Additionally, experienced yoga practitioners can benefit from this course to enhance their practice.
