Description
Much of what is presented about Yoga in our society represents the fitness-oriented media image of this ancient practice. What is less well known to the public is the idea of Yoga as a complimentary component of an overall health care regimen. When practiced with a specific therapeutic intention - Yoga Therapy - it can help prevent and aid in the recovery from a variety of mental and physical ailments.From October 3-5, 2008, San Rafael, CA will be the epicenter for the burgeoning field of yoga therapy, as it hosts “Yoga for Health” – the 3rd Annual Yoga Therapy Conference at the scenic Four Points Hotel by Sheraton. The conference presents internationally recognized yoga masters and other experts who in the course of three days will guide classes, workshops and lectures specifically intended to address the therapeutic applications of Yoga. The unique event is designed to make their knowledge of "Yoga for Health" accessible to both the general public, healthcare professionals and current yoga therapists & practitioners.
The conference promises to be one of the most informative yoga events of the year. Topics will address issues from minor ailments to chronic illness, ranging from the common cold and back pain to the secondary effects of cancer treatment, as well as depression, HIV, and many other conditions. Included in the list of presenters will be keynote speaker Rama Jyoti Vernon, co-founder of the Yoga Journal and founder and president of the International Yoga College, presenting on the role of Yoga Therapy on Global Healing, and Indian Master Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani, Chairman of the International Centre for Yoga Education and Research at the Ananda Ashram in Pondichary and son of Swami Gitananda Giri.
