Keeping Yoga in Yoga Therapy

The word yoga means union, oneness, or unity. The purpose of the many practices of yoga is to help us realize our true spiritual nature, to unite our attention and awareness with our own essence of being. Yoga therapy uses yogic techniques to improve health holistically, in body, mind, and spirit. How can yoga therapy remain true to the original purpose of yoga while meeting individuals where they are? When and how might yoga therapy be used? Join Yogacharya Ellen Grace O’Brian and special guest John Kepner, executive director of the International Association of Yoga Therapists, in a conversation that draws from the roots of yoga and yoga therapy.
