Integrated Approach of Yoga Therapy (IAYT) for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Introduction Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as motor neuron disease, is a progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons. This leads to progressive muscle weakness, atrophy, paralysis, and eventually respiratory failure. ALS affects voluntary muscle control, while sensory functions and cognitive abilities are often relatively preserved, […]
Integrated Approach of Yoga Therapy (IAYT) for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Introduction Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), is a complex, debilitating disorder characterized by persistent and unexplained fatigue that is not relieved by rest and is often worsened by physical or mental activity. This phenomenon, known as post-exertional malaise (PEM), is a hallmark feature of the condition. CFS affects multiple systems […]
Integrated Approach of Yoga Therapy (IAYT) for Neurosis
Introduction Neurosis is a broad term traditionally used to describe a group of mental health conditions characterized by emotional distress, anxiety, fear, obsessive thoughts, and maladaptive coping behaviours, without a loss of contact with reality. Although the term “neurosis” is less commonly used in modern psychiatric classifications, it encompasses conditions such as anxiety disorders, phobias, […]
Yoga Therapy (IAYT) for Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
Abstract Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), previously termed acute renal failure, is a rapid decline in renal function resulting in the accumulation of nitrogenous wastes, electrolyte imbalance, and fluid dysregulation. AKI can arise due to pre-renal, intrinsic renal, or post-renal causes, including hypovolemia, sepsis, nephrotoxic drugs, or urinary obstruction. Conventional management focuses on early recognition, supportive […]
FASCIA & CONNECTIVE TISSUE (SOMATIC PERSPECTIVE)
In somatic yoga, fascia is understood as a dynamic, continuous, sensory-rich network that shapes movement, posture, and emotional expression. Far from being passive tissue, fascia responds to load, hydration, breath, and internal states, making it central to embodied awareness and healing. Superficial fascia is the layer of connective tissue located just beneath the skin. Key […]
MUSCULAR SYSTEM & SENSORY MOTOR CONTROL (SOMATIC PERSPECTIVE)
Somatic yoga views the muscular system not only as a collection of tissues responsible for movement but as a dynamic neuromuscular network controlled by the brain. The focus is on how muscles contract, release, coordinate, and adapt based on patterns learned through life experiences, posture, emotions, and habits. In somatic theory, muscles are generally categorized […]
SKELETAL SYSTEM THROUGH A SOMATIC LENS
Somatic yoga approaches the skeletal system not as a fixed structural framework but as a living, sensing, adaptive system. Bones provide stability and leverage, but they also transmit force, respond to load, and shape the body’s kinesthetic experience. From a somatic perspective, skeletal alignment is explored through internal sensing, functional movement patterns, and the relationship […]
Yoga Therapy (IAYT) for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Introduction Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common neuropathic condition caused by compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway bordered by the carpal bones and the transverse carpal ligament. Compression of the median nerve leads to symptoms including pain, tingling, […]
Yoga Therapy (IAYT) for Cardiomyopathy
Introduction Cardiomyopathy refers to a group of diseases affecting the heart muscle (myocardium), leading to structural and functional abnormalities. These changes impair the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively, often resulting in heart failure, arrhythmias, and increased risk of sudden cardiac death. Cardiomyopathy may be primary (genetic or idiopathic) or secondary to other conditions such […]
Yoga Therapy (IAYT) for Cancer
Introduction Cancer is a complex group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cellular proliferation, invasion of surrounding tissues, and potential metastasis. It is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with an increasing global burden due to aging populations and lifestyle-related risk factors. Common types of cancer include breast, lung, colorectal, prostate, and hematological malignancies. […]
