Yoga Therapy
It has been proposed by T.K.V. Desikachar, through his organisation the KYM [2], that Yoga be integrated with other medical practices for the purpose of therapeutic healing. The KYM is currently running training courses for Yoga teachers to become Yoga therapists.
It is not clear at this stage to what extent Yoga Therapy can be considered a unique practice, or where it is merely a mixture of traditional Ashtanga yoga with Ayurvedic medicine.
