Abstract

Yoga, as both a science and art, elicits neurochemical response mediated by neurophysiological mechanisms, and when used in rehabilitation, can honor both its cultural philosophy while evolving as an evidence-based therapy. The central theme of this chapter is to provide a foundation for a novel yogic model of rehabilitation practice using proposed common psychotherapeutic and physiological factors that affect patient outcomes. This model is guided by Ten Precepts that can guide the use of yoga in rehabilitation as a medical, therapeutic, yoga, in order to foster evidence-based practice, which is representative of best practice techniques in rehabilitation. The 10 Precepts include guidelines on optimization of patient assessment and intervention, education, respiratory function as a first-line psychophysiological intervention, fostering stability and safety through six evidence-based neurophysiological principles, inclusion of Ayurveda and other yogic tools, and non-dogmatic yoga practice in rehabilitation.
