What Is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga therapy is personalized healing through yoga postures and breathing techniques. Unlike fitness classes, each practice is customized to your specific health condition. Our trained yoga therapists work with doctors to create a plan just for you.
You receive yoga prescribed like medicine. It targets pain, improves digestion, reduces stress, and strengthens your body. Sessions are supervised to ensure you progress safely and experience real health benefits.
Who Benefits from Yoga Therapy?
Yoga therapy helps many conditions. Here are the main groups:
- Pain and Stiffness: Back pain, neck pain, shoulder stiffness, joint pain, arthritis
- Metabolic Health: Diabetes, weight management, PCOS, thyroid issues
- Blood Pressure and Heart Health: High blood pressure, heart recovery, cholesterol support
- Breathing Issues: Asthma, chronic cough, shortness of breath, allergies
- Mental Health: Anxiety, depression, insomnia, stress, headaches
- Women's Health: Pregnancy support, postpartum recovery, menstrual issues, menopause
- General Wellness: Stress relief, better immunity, healthy aging, overall energy
Treatment Timeline
First Consultation (60 minutes): We review your health history and current symptoms. We examine your flexibility and mobility. Then we design a yoga plan just for your condition.
Regular Sessions (60 minutes): One-on-one sessions in our Yoga Therapy Hall. Each session includes warm-up, prescribed yoga poses, breathing exercises, relaxation, and meditation. The therapist watches your form and adjusts as needed.
Treatment Courses: Acute conditions need 7-14 sessions over 2-4 weeks. Chronic conditions need 21-41 sessions, 3-5 times per week. We give you a home practice guide for daily practice between sessions.
During Your Session
You practice in our dedicated Yoga & Meditation Hall. It is calm, clean, and peaceful. Sessions begin with breath awareness and gentle warm-up movements. The therapist guides you through your prescribed poses with detailed instructions. We ensure you practice safely and effectively.
Each session concludes with deep relaxation (Shavasana or Yoga Nidra) to integrate the therapeutic effects. The therapist provides immediate feedback on your practice and answers any questions. Many patients report feeling calmer, more mobile, and energized after the first session, though therapeutic benefits accumulate progressively over the treatment course. You will receive guidance on safe practice at home, contraindicated movements, and lifestyle adjustments to support your healing.
How Much Does Yoga Therapy Cost?
Single Session: Individual Yoga Therapy sessions are available for those who wish to try the therapy before committing to a full course, or for occasional maintenance sessions after completing a treatment course. Pricing varies based on session duration and the specific protocol prescribed.
Treatment Packages: We offer discounted multi-session packages for 7-day, 14-day, and 21-day courses, which provide better clinical outcomes for chronic conditions and represent significant cost savings compared to individual sessions. Package pricing is designed to make sustained therapeutic yoga accessible for long-term healing.
For detailed pricing information and to discuss which package suits your condition and budget, please contact our reception at +91 93421 99338 or book a consultation through our online scheduling system.
Is Yoga Therapy Safe for Everyone?
While Yoga Therapy is safe for most individuals, certain conditions require medical clearance, protocol modifications, or temporary postponement:
- Severe uncontrolled hypertension (systolic >180 mmHg) — stabilize blood pressure first
- Active fractures, dislocations, or acute injuries — wait until healed
- Recent surgery (within 6 weeks) — seek medical clearance before resuming practice
- Severe osteoporosis — requires gentle modified protocols to prevent fracture risk
- Pregnancy (first trimester) — prenatal yoga only after consultation and approval
- Uncontrolled epilepsy or seizure disorders — certain pranayama techniques may be contraindicated
- Acute cardiac conditions or recent myocardial infarction — medical clearance required
- Severe vertigo or balance disorders — standing postures modified or avoided
Our therapists conduct a thorough pre-treatment screening and collaborate with your treating physician when necessary. If you have any of these conditions, please inform our team during your initial consultation so we can design a safe and effective protocol tailored to your medical status.
What Results Can I Expect from Yoga Therapy?
At Dhuruva Global Naturopathy Hospital, we track clinical outcomes for patients undergoing Yoga Therapy across multiple conditions:
- Chronic Low Back Pain: 72% of patients report 50% or greater pain reduction within 21 sessions, with improved flexibility and reduced dependency on analgesics
- Type 2 Diabetes: Patients practicing the Diabetes Yoga Protocol show average HbA1c reduction of 0.6-1.2% over 3 months when combined with naturopathic diet therapy
- Hypertension: Pranayama-focused protocols produce measurable blood pressure reductions (average 8-12 mmHg systolic, 5-8 mmHg diastolic) after 8 weeks of consistent practice
- Anxiety & Depression: 78% of patients report significant improvement in anxiety scores (GAD-7) and depressive symptoms (PHQ-9) after 21 sessions of therapeutic yoga combined with meditation
- PCOS: Women practicing the PCOS Protocol show improved menstrual cycle regularity, reduced androgen levels, and better insulin sensitivity markers over 3-6 months

These outcomes are achieved through personalized protocols, consistent practice, and integration with other naturopathic therapies when appropriate. We encourage patients to continue conventional medical treatment alongside Yoga Therapy as a complementary modality, and we collaborate with referring physicians to ensure comprehensive care.

Our Yoga Therapy Programmes
Yoga Therapy (Asanas)
Medically supervised therapeutic yoga postures tailored to individual health conditions.
Learn More▾
Yoga Therapy at Dhuruva Hospital is a clinically supervised programme using carefully selected asanas (postures) prescribed for specific health conditions rather than general fitness. Each patient receives a personalised sequence based on their diagnosis — for example, spinal decompression postures for lumbar spondylosis, hip-opening sequences for sciatica, or core-strengthening asanas for low back pain. Sessions are conducted by trained yoga therapists in coordination with the naturopathic team. Unlike commercial yoga classes, this is a therapeutic intervention designed to produce measurable clinical outcomes in pain, mobility, and function.
Pranayama Therapy
Therapeutic breathing exercises to improve respiratory health and nervous system balance.
Learn More▾
Pranayama Therapy at DGNH is a structured programme of therapeutic breathing techniques prescribed for specific health goals. Techniques such as Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) for nervous system balance, Bhramari for headache and anxiety, Kapalbhati for metabolic activation, and Anulom Vilom for respiratory conditions are taught and practised under supervision. For patients with asthma, wheezing, or hypertension, pranayama sessions form a core component of their naturopathic care plan. The therapy improves lung capacity, balances the autonomic nervous system, reduces cortisol levels, and trains patients in self-regulation techniques they can apply independently.
Meditation & Stress Management
Guided meditation programmes for psychological stress, anxiety, and emotional balance.
Learn More▾
Meditation & Stress Management at Dhuruva Hospital combines evidence-based mindfulness practices with traditional yogic relaxation techniques. Sessions are conducted in the hospital's dedicated Yoga & Meditation Hall in a calm, guided group or individual format. Patients learn mindfulness meditation, body scan relaxation, visualisation, and breathing-based stress reduction techniques. The programme is particularly beneficial for patients with insomnia, depression, hypertension, diabetes (stress-related blood sugar variability), and anxiety disorders. Over a course of sessions, patients report significantly improved sleep quality, reduced anxiety, and a greater sense of psychological resilience.
Yoga Nidra
Deep guided relaxation and subconscious healing through yogic sleep practice.
Learn More▾
Yoga Nidra ("yogic sleep") is a systematic, guided relaxation practice that brings the practitioner into a state between waking and sleep — the hypnagogic state — where the body rests deeply while the mind remains subtly aware. At DGNH, Yoga Nidra sessions are conducted as part of insomnia management, post-illness recovery, and stress-related condition treatment plans. A single 45-minute session is considered equivalent to 2–3 hours of normal sleep in terms of physiological restoration. Patients with insomnia, chronic fatigue, PTSD, and high-stress lifestyles benefit significantly from regular practice. Sessions can be conducted in person or as part of the residential wellness retreat.
Yoga for Chronic Conditions
Disease-specific yoga protocols for diabetes, hypertension, PCOS, obesity, and more.
Learn More▾
Dhuruva Hospital offers disease-specific yoga programmes developed by experienced yoga therapists in collaboration with the naturopathic medical team. Each protocol is evidence-informed and condition-specific. The Diabetes Yoga Protocol includes asanas and pranayama known to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce HbA1c. The PCOS Protocol focuses on hormonal balancing postures, core strengthening, and stress reduction. The Obesity Management Protocol uses activating sequences combined with pranayama to improve metabolism. The Hypertension Protocol emphasises calming, parasympathetic-activating practices. Patients receive a printed home practice guide for continued benefit between hospital sessions.
Prenatal Yoga
Safe, supervised yoga and breathing practices for expectant mothers during pregnancy.
Learn More▾
Prenatal Yoga at DGNH is designed for expectant mothers at all stages of pregnancy and is conducted by a yoga therapist trained in prenatal care. The programme includes modified asanas safe for pregnancy that strengthen the pelvic floor, improve flexibility for labour, relieve back pain and swelling, and calm the nervous system. Pranayama techniques taught include slow diaphragmatic breathing for anxiety management and Ujjayi breath preparation for labour. Yoga Nidra is incorporated for deep relaxation and bonding with the baby. The programme also covers postnatal yoga essentials to support recovery and breast-feeding comfort after delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Yoga Therapy
Do I need prior yoga experience?
No. Our yoga therapy is adapted for all levels, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners. Our instructors personalize poses based on your flexibility, strength, and any physical limitations you have.
Can yoga therapy treat specific health conditions?
Yes. Therapeutic yoga addresses anxiety, depression, insomnia, back pain, arthritis, and respiratory issues. We design specific asana and pranayama sequences targeting your condition. Always inform your instructor about injuries or medical conditions.
How often should I practice yoga therapy?
For therapeutic benefit, 3-4 sessions per week is recommended initially. Once you learn the techniques, daily 15-20 minute home practice maintains and deepens results. Your instructor can suggest a schedule based on your goals.
What is the difference between regular yoga and yoga therapy?
Yoga therapy is specifically designed to address health issues and imbalances using individualized poses, breathing, and meditation. Regular yoga builds flexibility and strength; therapy yoga targets healing specific conditions while building awareness.
