How Yoga Therapy can help at multiple levels for whole person well-being

In 2022 review paper, How does yoga practice and therapy yield psychological benefits? A review and model of transdiagnostic processes, Alison Bennett argues that yoga practices target transdiagnostic psychological issues - and that the eight limbs offer a powerful framework for understanding how.

But what does transdiagnostic mean in psychology?

Rather than focusing only on a particular diagnosis, a transdiagnostic approach looks at experiences shared across many mental health conditions, such as low mood, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, pain, loneliness or difficulties with attention.

For yoga therapists, this supports a more person-centred approach. Instead of asking only whether yoga helps with depression, for example, we might consider how it supports low mood, connection, regulation, purpose and physical wellbeing.

Bennett’s model links the eight limbs of yoga with psychological change:

Yama: trust, respect and therapeutic safety
Niyama: self-awareness and reflection
Asana: body awareness and stress reduction
Pranayama: breath and emotional regulation
Pratyahara: turning attention inward
Dharana: concentration and attention training
Dhyana: meditation and mindful awareness
Samadhi: meaning, connection and self-realisation

This helps psychological professionals understand the broad potential of yoga therapy across different diagnoses and presentations.

Heather Mason has also been teaching this relationship between the eight limbs and psychological change for many years.

This is a very timely post from my colleague Emma; we touched on the Bhandas in class this last week for the first time in quite some time.

Practices like this don’t go away, our relationship to them moves closer, moves away, moves closer, as need arises.

My Therapeutic Yin Yoga classes are having a summer break over August, back Monday 7th September. Bookings are now open for September thought December.

https://Yinspire.as.me/?appointmentType=category:Classes

I wish everyone a good summer and see you in September.

Interested in joining us? A small group class, slow paced, focused on being rather than achieving, and with a therapeutic twist.

In the meantime I'm off to sit on the boat and walk the dog.

An interesting article in the Guardian, today

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/jun/01/yoga-cancer-anxiety-insomnia-study

I've unpacked this a bit here:

https://www.yinspire.co.uk/yoga-can-reduce-anxiety-and-insomnia-for-people-living-with-cancer-study-finds-via-guardian/

in short its something we knew, empirically, anyway. But how wonderful to have the endorsement.

First clinical trial of its kind, involving 410 cancer survivors in US, also finds reductions in distress and fatigue
