Difference between Yoga and Yoga Therapy

Yoga is a traditional practice that originated in ancient India, encompassing physical, mental, and spiritual disciplines aimed at achieving holistic well-being. Yoga is often taught in group classes or practiced individually, focusing on general health, fitness, relaxation, and spiritual growth.


Yoga therapy, on the other hand, is a personalised and therapeutic application of evidence-based yoga practices, designed to address specific health/mental health conditions and individual needs. Yoga therapy is typically delivered in one-on-one sessions or small groups, with ongoing monitoring and adjustments to the therapeutic plan based on the individual's progress.
