varied interpretations of how it should be taught and practiced,
and increased awareness of its beneficial effects as a healing
modality. As a result, yoga therapy has emerged as an effective
alternative approach to health and wellness. Explaining the
principles and underpinning ideas presented by the yoga therapy
movement, James Foulkes identifies the methods leading to the most
effective practice. Applying a principles-based approach, he

case studies. Yoga therapy practitioners will learn to improve
their work and more effectively support their clients.
