History of Yoga Therapy:
Yoga
has been used in traditional Indian medicine for thousands
of years. However, Yoga therapy in its present form is
a new discipline, created by the marriage of traditional
Yoga with modern medicine. Swami Kuvalyananda pioneered
Yoga therapy in the early 1920s, applying the methods
of modern medical science to study the physiological effects
and therapeutic application of Yoga and, in the following
decades, his practices spread to the rest of India &
World.
