Yoga practices include breath work, movement, guided relaxation and meditation, which, when blended with western therapeutic techniques, facilitate holistic processing in a safe, empathic, and non-judgmental way. Hundreds of empirical studies demonstrate the beneficial effects of yoga in treating depression, anxiety, chronic pain, heart disease, and cancer. While my research expanded upon the focus of reducing negative symptoms, it also explored the positive effects of yoga, which include enhancing psychological qualities such as compassion, empathy, and forgiveness. I helped to broaden the paradigm for research in yoga, and psychology in general, to include a concept of optimal wellbeing that is a more holistic, systemic approach to health. My intention was to conduct rigorous empirical research that moves toward this paradigm shift by exploring the positive effects of yoga linked with other modalities across diverse populations.
