What happens in a therapy class?

During a class the student and teacher work skillfully together to reduce the impact of the health condition, enabling the individual to make their own way back to health through the practice of yoga.

Covid-19 Recovery: A Suggested Yoga Programme

The IY(UK) Therapy Committee has created a video and compiled a booklet with a suggested yoga programme to support recovery from Covid-19.

Covid-19 is a highly infectious disease caused by the coronavirus. Most people infected will experience a mild to moderate respiratory illness, whilst others will show no symptoms at all. However for some the effects are severe and longer lasting.

Our aim in this yoga programme is to play some role in aiding the process of recovery. By only requiring the use of mostly basic props and furniture, we have tried to make the poses as accessible as possible for everyone.
