Therapies... - Yoga - Asanas (Postures)

Asanas involve various gentle stretching movements that increase flexibility and promote the flow of prana through the body, helping balance mind and body. In a physical sense, asanas can be thought of as an integration of the nerves and muscles. As many illnesses are thought to be the result of energy blockages in specific chakras, asanas can focus on specific organs or promote blood flow and energy through specific organs or body systems to promote healing.

Postures may be divided into two categories: meditative and therapeutic.

Meditative Postures

Meditative postures involve spinal alignment and the promotion of proper blood flow to bring the mind into a state of relaxation.

Therapeutic Postures

Therapeutic postures focus on promoting physical health and well-being.
