If one is really feeling sick then proper therapy is required to correct the feeling. The word therapy comes from the Greek word and means healing the sick or service. Yoga can be viewed as a holistic approach to healing, because it goes to the roots of all diseases.

People get sick when the body-mind connection gets into imbalance. A complete healing can take place when there is renewed confidence in self and in life, where internal blockages are removed, which otherwise can manifest as disease.

Many diseases give evidence, which are reflected as visible or noticeable symptoms in some form. Many diseases start with the feeling of separation from one’s own life-sustaining energy. You feel isolated, alienated, and bad, when things really should go well.

If you are aware of this feeling, and many people share those feelings, then we learn the need for wholeness. Then man begins to understand that he is not separated from life, but quite the contrary is connected to everything and everyone. Sometimes it leads to an understanding and actual experience of his own soul.

Yoga and meditation can be a way to address this self-healing. The word yoga comes from Sanskrit and means union or integration of the body and the soul. Yoga can build a sense of wholeness again, even if you are going through a difficult time or illness you must practice yoga because you learn and heal the relationship with self and life.

Yoga opens doors that you have never seen before, including perhaps the most important door – the door to your own heart. Therefore it is safe to assume that Yoga provides healing and can certainly be viewed as therapeutic and spiritual therapy.
