Since yoga is a therapeutic technique within itself using consciousness and intention from ancient traditions, makes it a form of Quantum Medicine and energy healing self-care approach to energy wellness and balance and a medical discipline. It is easy to see how yoga can be integrated with Western medicine therapeutic methods. It is widely known that Yoga can enhance mental, physical and emotional well being as a self-care approach to wellness that can help anyone to achieve a balance between mind, body, spirit, emotional and soul states of being. Yoga has been practiced for more than 5000 years. It has its earliest roots in the Yoga tradition of Patanjali and the Ayurvedic Alternative Medicine system of health care.

Yoga is one of the more popular types of Alternative Medicine and energy healing for self-care treatment and growing rapidly every year. Yoga is commonly known as a form of physical therapy, however it is a spiritual therapy as well, an integration of mind, body and spirit.

Researchers at Indiana University released a study today that showed older adults who practice Hatha yoga may be less afraid of falling—which is important, the study says, because that fear can limit physical and social activity, ultimately diminishing the quality of life. Participants in the study, 14 men and women with an average age of 78 years, took Hatha yoga classes from a yoga therapist twice weekly for twelve weeks. They reported a 6 percent reduction in fear of falling and 34 percent increase in lower body flexibility. - Yoga Journal

Yoga was originally a spiritual energy healing treatment for centering and harmonizing to bring into balance the mind, body, spirit, emotions and soul. 

Yoga provides an opportunity to become acquainted with our essence, in tune with the Oracle at Delphi's command: Know thyself.  From a psychological standpoint, therapy is defined as the possibility of accessing self-knowledge that will enable us to change that what we consider dysfunctional.  A number of research studies have proven the effectiveness of Yoga Therapy as developing exactly that type of awareness. - Antonio Sausys "Yoga Therapy: Unlocking the Hidden Vitality"

Physical practices seem to be in demand in America. There is one new type of yoga, created by Bikram Choudury in California, using Hatha yoga postures worth mentioning. It is called "hot yoga" or Bikram yoga and is practiced in hot rooms. These rooms are normally at an average temperature of 90 to 106 degrees Fahrenheit. This form of yoga focuses on balancing and stretching and used to create pressure in the body. One feels the blood rushing through the veins with the release of the stretch. One can feel veins being flushed out and cleansed. This is one of the main points of hot yoga.

The reason that this form is performed in a hot room is to maintain heat in the entire body and keep it warm. This allows one to work deep into your muscles and tendons to heal with exercise from the inside and out. Bikram yoga, like many others, is a natural pain reliever and aids in decreasing many chronic pain conditions.  As one would imagine you can also reduce stress, lose weight and more with this form of yoga. You will find yourself in great physical and mental health by practicing hot yoga. The 90 minute meditation, while performing 26 postures in a heated room are for those who believe "no pain no gain".  You will love this form of yoga. With Bikram yoga you will experience some pain, excess sweating, discomfort from the heat and the aerobic challenge in a heated room. You will either love or hate it!
