This presentation will provide some historical perspective on yoga and yoga therapy, as well as discuss how yoga therapy may provide a complement to psychotherapy. Ethical considerations will be addressed. The assessment and interventions for yoga therapy come primarily from ancient yoga texts, and there will be an introduction to these texts, primarily the Yoga Sutras which provides an Eastern perspective on how the mind operates. The presenter will also introduce one of the main assessment tools in yoga therapy, the Panca Maya model. Additionally, discussion of some of the tools of yoga therapy will be included. Short practices will be interwoven into the presentation to offer techniques for bringing balance to a client’s system as well as understanding the yogic perspective on healing.
