Yoga

The Yoga Therapy software module is designed to determine the most suitable yoga asanas for a client and create a personalized yoga therapy program.

All asanas are categorized into three color-coded lists: Green, Yellow, and Red.

• Green List: Contains asanas that are most effective for the specific client, considering their constitutional characteristics.
• Yellow List: Contains asanas that have partial constitutional compatibility. These can be used for the client when their benefits are deemed to outweigh potential risks, but they require careful consideration.
• Red List: Contains constitutionally incompatible asanas. These should only be practiced within a carefully balanced sequence of other asanas specifically designed to neutralize their potential negative effects.

Each asana in the list is assigned a rating — a numerical value in arbitrary units displayed next to it. It displays the most suitable asanas.

When an asana is selected (checked) in the list, it is added to the separate Yoga Therapy window. Here, the specialist can create a personalized yoga therapy program for the client, selecting asanas from any of the available lists.

Use the Filter to filter asanas by pose type, and use the Search field to find a specific asana by name.

There are two ways to remove an asana from the yoga therapy program:

• Deselect it in the color-coded list (by unchecking it);
• Right-click on the asana in the program and select Delete from the context menu.

You can clear the entire yoga therapy program using the icon or by selecting Clear the List from the context menu.

The formulated yoga therapy program can be saved within the program. To do this, click the Save Recipe button and assign a name, for example, "Yoga therapy for GIT disorders".

You can later use the saved yoga therapy program for this or another client by loading it and selecting it from the Open Recipe.

In the same window, you can delete unwanted yoga therapy programs by clicking the Delete button.

The Description and Recommendations subtab provides a detailed, step-by-step guide for performing the asana, complete with visual and textual instructions for both the specialist and the client. The instructions include:

• Initial pose;
• Holding the pose;
• Completing the pose;
• Possible modifications;
• Key execution details (critical actions to observe during the asana);
• Dosha-specific notes (personalized recommendations)
• General precautions for asanas;
• Pranayama instructions.

Please note that the Yoga therapy module includes personalized recommendations describing the specifics of practice for an individual's constitution. These are detailed in the asana description window.

The Recipe Value subtab allows you to assess the overall impact of the yoga therapy program on the client.

The Dosha Balance graph displays the potency of the asana sequence's influence on each individual Dosha, represented by directional arrows.

Upward-pointing arrows indicate an increasing effect, while downward-pointing arrows indicate a decreasing effect. The number of arrows (from zero to three) indicates the potency of the effect:

• 3 arrows: Potent recipe
• 2 arrows: Moderately potent
• 1 arrow: Weakly potent
• No arrows: Neutral effect

The Value Index scale displays the overall efficacy of the yoga therapy program on a scale from -10 to 10, where:

The potential effects of the asanas are described in text format, taking into account the individual's current constitution, and reflect possible impacts on the body. It is important to note that individual characteristics and existing health conditions must be considered.

The Recommendations section is designed for the specialist to add personalized comments for the client. The text entered in this field is saved in the program's memory and is included in the report.

After selecting the asanas, you can save the report by clicking the Save Report button.
