What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga Therapy—or as we call it Yoga As Medicine— is the selective use of various yoga tools — such as poses, breathing techniques, relaxation exercises and meditation, as well as dietary and lifestyle advice — to help people with virtually any health condition, physical or psychological. Because people's health and fitness vary, we often modify poses or use props to make the practices safe and effective. In Yoga As Medicine, we perform detailed holistic assessments of each client—evaluating body, mind, spirit and environment—and then craft a personalized yoga program. And that's precisely what we teach in our seminars and teacher trainings. Yoga therapy can be used by itself or as an adjunct to any conventional or alternative medical treatment. |

"There is so much wisdom in this heartfelt, moving, and deeply personal book."
– Lorenzo Cohen, PhD, Professor and Director, Integrative Medicine Program, MD Anderson Cancer Center; Co-Author, Anticancer Living: Transform Your Life and Health with the Mix of Six In 1997, Timothy McCall, MD left a successful medical career to become a yoga therapist. Twenty years later, diagnosed with metastatic cancer, he returned his focus to the practice of medicine, this time as a patient. He would need all he had learned in both healing worlds….
Dr. McCall, Yoga Journal's medical editor and author of the Amazon #1 Bestseller Yoga As Medicine, leads us on a surprise-filled journey from South India to the US and back, from banana, jackfruit and coconut groves to sterile hospital wards. Part memoir and part meditation on holistic healing, Saving My Neck: A Doctor's East/West Journey through Cancer is for yogis and non- yogis alike. It's for healthcare professionals, holistic healers and those facing health challenges — and anyone who loves a good story. "A masterpiece written from the heart."

In conjunction with an online course on Yoga As Medicine on Yoga U, I recorded this video. It's over 40 minutes long, and is a good introduction to my overall approach to yoga therapy, my ideas about what yoga teachers and therapists should — and shouldn't — be doing with students with medical conditions, integrating yoga into modern medical care, etc. I had a lot of fun recording this interview and hope you enjoy it!
