The term ''' yogathérapie ''' was created in 1970 by Dr. Bernard Auriol to indicate the " use; santé" methods and principles resulting from the Indian Yoga. One can in particular use relieving (Shavasana), the many postures (Asana S), interiorized repetition of phonemes (Mantra S) and breathings (Pranayama), various forms of Méditation and Contemplation (Dharana, concentration and Dhyana, meditation), the respect of certain hygienic regulations, the valorization of rules of life which appear sometimes paradoxical (not-competition, non-violence or Ahimsa, etc)

One can use these methods within the framework of an individual teaching or group. On this last assumption the " professeur" must individualize its teaching and manage the phenomena of Group dynamic.

It is recommended not to encourage the patients with a solitary practice. One can associate, with benefit, in end of the meetings, the exercises of Communication in group, of type body Expression or Debriefing.
