Therapeutic postures are practised according to the patient’s physical and mental state. Practicing yoga may not lead to full recovery in case of severe diseases. Still, it may reduce pain, relieve symptoms and improve quality of life. Yoga gently encourages the body’s natural healing. This self-healing process moves at its own pace, varying in speed for each individual.
