What is yoga therapy? 
The word yoga itself is derived from the sanskrit meaning of union and therapy being the treatment of mental or psychological disorders, which can be a manifest of the mind. Our well being can be separated into two parts, one being the physical and the other, the mental aspect of it. Yoga's approach to well being is slightly different with the obvious spiritual aspect of the practice, with the goal to being one with everything start with the mind. Through yoga we create therapy based programs that has been practised for thousands of years and apply it to the current era where disease and illness starts with the manifestation of a thought. Yoga teaches one to master the subconscious through withdrawal of the senses of the body and control of the mind to allow individuals to better control stress and the environment that may cause a negative experience and leave an impression without realising it. Sometimes also referred to as "triggers", these triggers are usually a form of impression left (in the subconscious mind) that may have been caused by a negative experience, which may cause someone to react almost instinctively. 

During Yoga therapy sessions, individuals will be guided to increase awareness of everything that happens in the mind and body, creating an increased overall quality of life. Decreasing joint/ muscular pain, decreasing stress, improving immune system,  increasing the appetite for life and some would say having go through a certain sense of "higher awareness of life". 

We engage the physical aspect through movements and breath work, the mental aspect of increasing awareness, through meditation. Yoga therapy is not a form of religious practice as what people assume, rather, it is a form of practise to be able to understand and accept what life has to offer and how to turn negative experience into a positive one.
