Yoga as Medicine
Himalayan Institute, Honesdale, PA
Sunday, June 24 - Thursday, June 28, 2012

Physician, author, and yogi Dr. Timothy McCall invites you to discover or deepen your appreciation of the healing potential of yoga. Explore yoga's vast toolbox, including postures, breathing techniques, relaxation, chanting, visualization, meditation, and philosophical ideas, and learn how these tools can be adapted to meet everyone's needs—young or old, fit or unfit, healthy or seriously ill. Beyond relieving symptoms or even curing disease, yoga as medicine is a path to high-level physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Areas of focus will include:

- The ancient yogic formula for changing dysfunctional habits
- Anatomical principles that deepen yoga practice and make it safer
- The vital link between breath, nervous system, and mind
- Reconciling yoga and modern science
- The yogic approach to heart disease, insomnia, depression, infertility, and weight loss
- Practicing safely with various health challenges
- Ayurvedic insights that deepen yoga's therapeutic potential.

This week is an opportunity to cultivate yogic awareness to guide life decisions, and make medical care, both alternative and conventional, more effective.
