The 3 parts of yoga therapy

The yoga that Kaivalyadhama promotes has three main parts.

First is the practice of asanas, pranayama, kriyas, and meditation. Asanas induce increased awareness of physical and psychological processes by controlled stretching, contraction, and relaxation of various muscles, coordinated through balance and holding of postures.

Pranayama involves the manipulation of breathing and an increased awareness of pressures within the chest and abdomen.
Kriyas are purifying processes which eliminate toxins from the body.

Finally, meditation practice increases awareness of one’s mental functioning. It makes us more aware of our restlessness, which in turn creates feelings of fear, insecurity, and stress. All aspects of this first part of treatment combine to return the body to its healthy, harmonious, and balanced state. The second part is concerned with the regulation of diet as well as control of daily habits such as sleep, recreation, and work. This helps in removing the irritants responsible for much of our imbalances. Finally, the third part concerns changes in attitude, behavior, and lifestyle. Feelings of sharing, warmth, friendship, love and respect for the whole beautiful world needs to be cultivated so as to be an antidote for feelings of hopelessness and loneliness.
