This book is a guide to how and why yoga therapy can be used as an adjunct treatment in mental health.

The first two chapters detail yoga’s history as a mental health intervention and the underlying physiological mechanisms, while following chapters look in depth at different mental health conditions from both a yoga and clinical perspective, exploring the use of yoga in therapeutic practice.

Not only will the book serve as a reference, but also as a bridge between yoga therapy and healthcare, helping to add to the process of growing integration.
