Introduction to the Principles of Benefit Yoga® Therapy / Yoga Cikitsa

Benefit Yoga® Therapy is a complementary approach to health and healing that is being successfully applied at Weg der Mitte  and the European College for Yoga and Therapy ECYT since more than 50 years in working with prevention, treatments and rehabilitation.

Benefit Yoga® Therapy is based on Ayurveda and the five principles of healing in the Yogic tradition: the principle of adequacy in nutrition, relaxation, practice of Asana, breathing, thinking and meditation.

What is adequate can only be determined individually. That is why in Benefit Yoga® Therapy we start from the personal motivation and the individual goal of the client/patient considering his/her constitution, disposition, situation in life as well as the specific symptoms when developing a therapy plan.

When applying Yoga Therapy and individual treatment / guidance in Yoga, we as therapists resp. "therapists in progress" are asked to reflect upon and deepen our understanding of health and illness and how to be able to use Yoga in our personal practice to gain wellbeing and clarity. Really being able to guide other people through deep processes is possible only based on ones own thorough education and experience.
