Structural Yoga Therapy

Structural Yoga Therapy concentrates on efficient and organized anatomical assessment of the individual’s musculature.



The Yoga therapist examines every muscle group for range of motion, muscle strength as well as pain. Each degree of motion is noted down and appended to the whole picture.



This is done to evaluate the patient’s progress later on. Targeted Yoga pose and breathing exercise advice and suggestions are made subsequent to meticulous considerations of what will most efficiently restore balance structurally and otherwise.

A person’ system is working harmoniously when all the constituents of his / her life function in accord with each other.



These elements include:

• Behavior of the senses
• Body and breath
• Food
• Hygiene
• Mental attitude
• Social interaction
• State of mind

To be wholly in harmony, the individual should typically address a number of the above-mentioned areas. According to Structural Yoga Therapy, disease is nothing but an indicator or symptom of a system falling apart. For this reason, medical practitioners often use Yoga therapy as an alternative therapy. However in the context of an individual’s overall self-improvement, it is more important to use it as a method of eradicating obstacles to tidy one’s perceptions, the first step in personal reintegration.

In any disease or problem, the medical practitioners normally find the following aspects that relate to the cause and cure of the identified symptom

• Social
• Structural
• Functional
• Psychological

For instance, sciatica, commonly identified as merely a structural problem, might have associated functional problems. There may be a number of psychological effects too. In almost all cases, it is extremely necessary to test as many levels of a person's history as you can and include them in the treatment. In this way, each treatment uniquely relates to the patient.
