Apart from these ailments, Yoga therapy helps in breaking the mental blocks which an individual creates during his/her lifetime. There is a lot of notional correction needed when yoga therapy is implemented. Usually, the course starts with a small theory session. This session covers most of the notional correction needed. These mental blocks are instrumental in holding back the said individual from performing his/her professional, personal and societal chores which are actually deep-rooted and inculcated within them, due to the earlier training they have undergone.
