CHICAGO, March 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Yoga Therapy, an evidence-based practice used to treat chronic diseases, structural conditions and mental health issues, as well as foster wellbeing and personal growth, is taking root as a powerful tool to improve health and wellness, healing and more. However, it remains little understood by not only the public at large but also by healthcare professionals and many practitioners and teachers of more widespread forms of yoga. A new free eBook by Bija Bennett and industry experts, "The Yoga Therapy Renaissance: A New Wellness Modality for the 21st Century," covers the origins, evolution, growth, training programs, applications across industries and vast potential this distinct wellness modality has for modern healthcare.
