Yoga Therapy (Yog Chikitsa) is not a modern word, but it is ancient as Yoga word. There are often misleading ways that branded Yoga is complete Yoga. Certain brands could be for marketing purposes or to teach only a certain style of Yoga Asana sequence may not be a complete Yoga. Our Yoga type is a Traditional Yoga which in a deeper sense is a complete and authentic Yoga derived from ancient Yoga scriptures as old as 10,000 years in Sanskrit taught in English. We teach basic secrets from these scriptures which cover physical, mental, and emotional and energy levels.
