Yoga therapy is a holistic healing practice that applies the principles of yoga, including asana (movement), pranayama (breathwork), meditation, and relaxation techniques, to support physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Unlike general yoga classes, yoga therapy is tailored to individual needs and can be particularly effective for mental health conditions such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, OCD, and ADHD by helping to regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, and cultivate emotional resilience. Through guided practices like Yoga Nidra, mindfulness, and breath awareness, it promotes deep relaxation and self-awareness, empowering individuals to live in acceptance of their full selves and to manage their symptoms more effectively. Our qualified yoga therapists have undergone specialised training beyond standard yoga instruction, earning credentials through accredited programs such as the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT). At El Yak, we ensure that yoga therapists work safely and effectively with those facing mental health challenges.
