这篇透视文章概述了当今日本瑜伽疗法的现状。日本的传统瑜伽在1995年遭受了严重的挫折，东京地铁发生了神经毒气恐怖袭击，这是由一个通过瑜伽课程招募成员的邪教组织实施的。但是随着现代瑜伽形式的普及，如艾扬格瑜伽，阿斯汤加瑜伽和热瑜伽在西方，今天日本的普通公众正在忘记对瑜伽的厌恶，并认为它可以有助于身体健康。2012年，日本瑜伽疗法协会（JYTS）在日本卫生、劳动和福利部的支持下，与九州大学医学院合作，对日本各地瑜伽课的不良事件进行了研究。这项研究表明，参加瑜伽课程的人中有一半以上患有某种形式的慢性疾病，其中42.3%接受门诊治疗。这项调查是政府和大学对瑜伽疗法越来越感兴趣的开始。JYTS开始将瑜伽疗法引入癌症和姑息治疗，老年人之家，酒精和药物成瘾康复，心血管康复以及创伤和精神分裂症的研究。虽然瑜伽治疗师在主流医疗服务中工作的机会仍然有限，但医疗专业人员对身心健康的兴趣越来越大。JYTS开始将瑜伽疗法引入癌症和姑息治疗，老年人之家，酒精和药物成瘾康复，心血管康复以及创伤和精神分裂症的研究。虽然瑜伽治疗师在主流医疗服务中工作的机会仍然有限，但医疗专业人员对身心健康的兴趣越来越大。这篇文章介绍了日本瑜伽疗法研究和实践的一些发展。
This perspective piece gives an overview of the current situation of yoga therapy in Japan today. Traditional yoga in Japan suffered a serious setback in 1995 with a nerve gas terrorist attack on the Tokyo subway, which was carried out by a cult that recruited members through yoga classes. But with the increase in popularity with modern forms of yoga such as Iyengar yoga, Ashtanga yoga and hot yoga in the West, the general public in Japan today is forgetting its aversion to yoga and considers it to be something that can contribute to good health. In 2012, the Japan Yoga Therapy Society (JYTS) conducted a study on adverse events in yoga classes throughout Japan with the University of Kyushu School of Medicine, with support from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. This study indicated that more than half of people attending yoga classes have some form of chronic illness, with 42.3% receiving outpatient care. This survey was the beginning of growing interest from both the government and universities in yoga therapy. JYTS is beginning to make inroads into bringing yoga therapy into cancer and palliative care, senior citizen homes, alcohol and drug addiction rehabilitation, cardiovascular rehabilitation, and research on trauma and schizophrenia. While there are still limited opportunities for yoga therapists to work in mainstream healthcare services, there is growing interest among medical professionals in both physical and mental health.
