Philosophy & Discussion (PD), Yoga Therapy & Therapeutics (T)
Yoga is sometimes described as an evolving complementary and alternative medicine discipline, but as a therapy it is a confusing concept to both conventional health-care practitioners and experienced yoga practitioners. In this class, we receive an overview of the field, including many of the major yoga therapy approaches in the United States today. We also review a summary of modern research supporting the acceptance of yoga therapy by conventional biomedical fields. CE credit available.
