Yoga therapy for health conditions in India

Quick answer

Yoga therapy adapts postures, breathing and relaxation to a person's health condition under supervision. In India, institutes offer structured programmes for back pain, stress, breathing problems and lifestyle conditions. It differs from a general yoga retreat by focusing on individual medical needs.
