Yoga and Yoga Therapy
Yoga therapy uses a range of ‘tools’ to bring about physical, mental and emotional well-being. These include movement, breathwork, sound and meditation.
The practice of Yoga develops awareness of the body and mind and can help us to understand how to help our body, emotions or patterns of thinking, to develop a positive state of health.

The ancient eastern tradition of Yoga has long understood the vital connections between the mind, brain and body. Many neuroscientists in the west are now recognising and realising the benefits of Yoga in regulating autonomic, neuroendocrine, emotional and behavioural activation through its integration of top-down (brain to body) and bottom-up (body to brain) processes. It is proposed that these top-down and bottom-up processes may support the individual’s ability to self-regulate and may reduce symptoms of diverse conditions, such as IBS, chronic pain, anxiety/depression, PTSD, and Long-covid

Professor Krishnamacharya was the teacher and inspiration to many of the well-known yoga teachers in India and the West, including Pattabhi Jois, Indra Devi and BKS Iyengar. He, arguably, re-established the invaluable ancient philosophy and practice of Yoga in India and abroad, pioneering the idea that yoga is for all, irrespective of gender, caste, age or ability.
TKV Desikachar was Krishnamacharya’s son and was his student for more than three decades, dedicated to promoting and continuing the work of his father and mentor.
Krishnamacharya and Desikachar based their teaching on the individual – how we can adapt and apply the many tools of yoga to the person in front of us at that moment in time.
As a TSYP teacher, I have close links to those who were taught directly by TKV Desikachar. I am proud to be a part of this continuous and continuing line of teachers passing on their knowledge of the whole of yoga from one to another for the benefit of humanity.
