Yoga Therapy 101 – Can yoga therapy heal the brain?

Yoga therapy works to heal both the body and mind – making it suitable for those who have experienced a traumatic brain injury.

According to Harvard Health, yoga therapy helps your brain develop new connections – these connections result in improved cognitive skills such as learning and memory.

A yoga therapy practice also strengths parts of the brain that play a key role in attention, awareness, thought, and language.

MRI scans have shown increased information processing in the brain compared those who do not engage in a yoga therapy practice.

Yoga Therapy 101 - Does Yoga Therapy Help With Nerve Damage?

Nerve damage can cause tingling, numbness, sensitivity to touch, and pain in the hands and feet.

According to the Mayo Clinic, these feelings can be due to autoimmune diseases, infections, and various genetic conditions.

Fortunately, a study found that yoga therapy can help ease pain and help you move more freely.

Yoga therapy does this by:

* Directly repairing nerve damage by acting on receptors throughout the nervous system.
* Strengthening muscles through a low-impact way, without aggravating symptoms.
* Increasing balance and stability by being a long-term strategy to help build confidence in your movements.

"When you look at trees, notice how you pay attention to them.

Some of them are bent, some of them are straight.

Some of them green, and some are not.

When you look at the tree, you see why it is the way it is - maybe it didn't get enough sun, or not enough rain.

But the minute we look at a human, we lose that same appreciation.

We often think, "You are too this" or "I'm too that."

The judgement mind comes in.

And so, I practice turning people into trees.

Which means appreciating them just the way they are."

Quote by Ram Dass.
