Most yoga teachers do not use the techniques of “contra-lateral movements” in their classes. But yoga therapists do, primarily because yoga therapy helps people relieve some symptoms or health conditions, not just instruct the positions or postures of yoga. In most cases, the strategies of yoga therapy are designed to improve the quality of physical function and increase concentration. Thus the benefits of yoga affect the mind and body.
