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.

New Yoga of Tennis YouTube Channel! ​
Dr. Timothy McCall's has posted a number of videos to the YouTube channel Yoga of Tennis. Here's more about the philosophy and vision of this undertaking. Although the channel is aimed primarily at tennis players, we will be releasing many videos detailing yoga practices and yogic principles that yogis as well as  practitioners of other sports may find useful in improving their "game."

My YouTube Channel, Ask the Yoga Doctor, launched in 2020. 
​
Here are a sampling of the videos,
with many more available on YouTube...

 Video Interview on Yoga Therapy
Picture

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!
