Yoga therapy uses yoga techniques to manage specific health challenges, as assessed through physical, mental, and emotional health. It is often used to complement traditional medical treatments, improving quality of life and overall well-being.

No, yoga therapy is not just physical therapy. While both may involve similar physical movements, yoga therapy takes a holistic approach to healing, combining physical, mental, and emotional well-being practices. Additionally, yoga therapy is often used as a complementary therapy alongside traditional medical treatments, while PT is typically used as a primary treatment method for physical injuries or disabilities.
