CHICAGO, March 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Yoga Therapy, an evidence-based practice used to treat chronic diseases, structural conditions and mental health issues, as well as foster wellbeing and personal growth, is taking root as a powerful tool to improve health and wellness, healing and more. However, it remains little understood by not only the public at large but also by healthcare professionals and many practitioners and teachers of more widespread forms of yoga. A new free eBook by Bija Bennett and industry experts, "The Yoga Therapy Renaissance: A New Wellness Modality for the 21st Century," covers the origins, evolution, growth, training programs, applications across industries and vast potential this distinct wellness modality has for modern healthcare.

Key Points:

"Like yoga, a 5,000-year-old set of practices that has enjoyed exponential growth in the last decade, Yoga Therapy is an ancient modality that is flourishing once again," Bennett noted.
Yoga Therapy is a subset of yoga based on the therapeutic and clinical application of specific practices, but these therapeutic methods are now being incorporated into top healthcare systems' integrative medicine programs.
As a result, yoga therapists are increasingly earning the necessary certifications for this form of therapy and becoming engaged in clinical roles," Bennett, a certified yoga therapist, explained."
Her eBook, "The Yoga Therapy Renaissance," serves to:
Validate Yoga Therapy's efficacy as a modern wellness modality and discipline built on a profound body of knowledge, experience and substantiated benefits;
Differentiate Yoga Therapy as a distinct subspecialty within the wider discipline of yoga practice;
Increase mainstream awareness of the holistic value and impact of Yoga Therapy; and
Drive the adoption of Yoga Therapy in diverse industries and settings in both public and private sectors.
