Yoga is a technique that enables you to unite your mind, body, and soul. It is the age-old method for the prevention and cure of many diseases and a sustainable way of maintaining physical, mental, and spiritual health. Modern yoga therapy blends medical science with traditional yoga practices to help you attain holistic wellness. Yoga and meditation instil positivity that aids treatment in many cases. This is especially true for patients suffering from chronic illness and those undergoing or recovering from surgeries. Gentle postures and breathing-based relaxation accelerates recovery and rehabilitation.

Yoga therapy is a targeted plan designed to address your specific concerns. It stands on the belief that mind, body, and spirit are all connected and one at a deeper level.

It brings inner peace and focuses on healing the condition rather than dwelling on the causes or ramifications.

What to Expect from a Yoga Therapy Consultation?

A yoga therapy consultation lasts between 30 to 60 minutes. The therapists exhaustively understand your medical condition, the role of yoga therapy, and your comfort with the treatment plan. They may formulate a home-practise plan, request you to visit the yoga facility for guided sessions, or prescribe residential (rehabilitation therapy) plans depending on your needs. Here is what to expect from your yoga guide:

Detailed discussion of your physical and mental health and your physical abilities
Developing an understanding of the goals you wish to achieve with yoga
Explanation of the way yoga therapy fits in our ongoing treatment plan (if any) or helps you improve your lifestyle.
Understanding your schedule and helping you make time for continued yoga practise
Formulation of a personalised plan and planning follow-up sessions

The yoga practitioner will assess your progress and evaluate the yoga plan to make necessary changes in the follow-up sessions.

How Does Yoga Therapy at Narayana Health Work?

Yoga experts at Narayana Health take your complete history. They may ask about existing medical conditions, current ailments, previous experience with yoga or physical activities, state of mental health, and diagnostic reports. Depending on your or your loved one's condition, our doctor may request medical diagnosis using an X-ray, CT scan, blood test, or MRI. Our yoga trainers create individualised plans to address your specific requirements. Your treatment plan may include yoga asanas, pranayama, yogic kriyas, meditation, Satvik nutrition, and natural therapies. Our practitioners may also use types of equipment, such as ropes, belts, bolsters, hammocks, singing bowls, etc. These are to provide you with optimal care. Here’s how they help:

Pranayama or deep breathing exercises improve lung function, facilitate detoxification, and reduce oxidative stress. This provides you with deep relaxation and promotes healing at psychological and physiological levels.
Yogasnas or movement therapy foster muscle toning, strengthening, flexibility, and control. Some asanas, when practised regularly, directly improve your health. For instance, pavanmuktasana helps relieve constipation and mandukasana is advised for diabetes patients to improve liver and pancreatic function, etc.
Meditation also called the practice of being in the present and centred, is a mental health technique. It helps manage anxiety, depression, chronic stress, sleeping disorders, high blood pressure, and often addiction issues. The best part is that the benefits of meditation remain the same whether you choose to meditate on your own or opt for a guided practice as it encourages mindfulness and self-fulfilment.

Choose Narayana Health for Holistic Wellness

Our experts leverage the science of yoga because it operates at mind, body, and cognitive levels all at once. It is a predictable modern tool rooted deep in our culture that provides the most sought-after wealth - holistic health. Whether you need the mental health benefits of yoga, want to make it a part of your lifestyle, or require it to complement medical treatment, Narayana Health’s team understands and guides you accordingly.

We have well-developed and aesthetically designed yoga facilities. The facilities are kept clean and managed so that external noise and distractions do not interfere with your yoga practice. Depending on your condition and yoga therapy requirements, your primary doctor may advise outpatient or residential yoga. You may also get advice to do certain asanas that can be safely practised alone. This is the most suitable option when you do not want repeat visits or do not need residential or trainer-led yoga practice.

By embracing yoga, Narayana Health is en route to paving the way for futuristic care where holistic wellness and patient-centrism come above everything else.

We encourage you to adopt a life of preventive healthcare rather than a curative one. However, it is paramount to understand that yoga and meditation cannot replace conventional care and treatments. These tools accelerate healing, promote relaxation, and encourage faster recovery. Therefore, make sure that you follow your primary healthcare provider's guidelines on incorporating yoga into your treatment plan. Our practitioners are always there to solve your queries and build an understanding of expanding the boundaries of care to deliver holistic wellness.
