If Yoga is science of human body and mind, then it is essential to learn the anatomy and physiology deeply to understand Yoga Science.” – Aadyam

Anatomy is the study of the body structure, physiology refers to the study of body functions, and pathology means the study and diagnosis of diseases. To understand application of Yogasana, one must understand the causes, symptoms, and intensity of the disease; basically the patho-physiology of the disease.

Practicals:

Different types of props like bolster, pillow, wooden bench, brick, etc. are used in Augmented Yoga Therapy to increase the Asana time, Ccomfortness, and stability. Our goal is to accomplish the asana definition of Mahamuni Patanjali - “Sthir Sukhama Asana”. Altered Asana practice by using props works on targeted body parts and provides fast positive result, with minimal side effects of that particular asana. Holding the asana for longer duration leads to sooner results, as it works in deep muscular layer of the body. If Yoga is a hi-tech space science, then one can work on the joint spaces and correction of body postures with this system. Through our practical sessions, one can learn to modify / alter the asana according to the individual requirements.
