Yoga as Medicine

You probably know that yoga can bring peace of mind; put you in touch with your deeper self; and give you a sleek, toned body—but did you know that it can also be used to prevent and treat various illnesses? Yoga can help alleviate and heal a wide range of conditions, including minor ailments (such as headaches and the common cold) and chronic illnesses (such as depression, cancer, and HIV).

If you’re going to be in the San Francisco Bay Area this weekend, October 3rd – 5th, join Laci and me in attending “Yoga for Health” – the 3rd Annual Yoga Therapy Conference in San Rafael at the Sheraton Four Points Hotel. The conference will feature nationally and internationally known yoga masters, such as Joel Kramer (a.k.a. “father of modern American yoga”), Rama Jyoti Vernon (founder of the International iytc-color-logo.jpgYoga College, the California Yoga Teachers’ Association and Unity in Yoga International), and Antonio Sausys (somatic health practitioner and yoga professor). Click here for the full line-up. In addition to yoga masters, the conference will also have healthcare providers, alternative therapy doctors, and experts who will be guiding classes, workshops, and lectures specifically intended to address the therapeutic applications of yoga.

Imagine utilizing the power within yourself instead of seeking solace in a pill. Click here to register for the conference, and stay tuned for our upcoming articles on yoga and healing!
