Abstract

Yoga is a complete system of occupational regulation, based on complex theories that address occupational risk factors while relating occupation directly to health and wellbeing. Although aspects of yoga have been used in Western occupational therapy settings, some of its underlying theories may have been overlooked. If validated by research, these theories may enrich occupational therapy philosophy. Yogic techniques of potential clinical use include pulse diagnosis, meditation and breath control. These are not described in detail in this opinion piece, but should be the subject of thorough literature reviews and, perhaps, further research.
