Abstract: Reports that modified yoga exercises--postural (Asanas), respiratory (Pranayama), and meditational (Dhyana)--are now being used in therapeutics, mainly in psychiatric treatment and psychosomatic medicine. The yoga method adapted for use in Poland is termed relaxation-concentration training. Rehabilitation by this method is called psychokinesitherapy. It has been applied for 5 yrs at the Department of Psychiatry in Poznan in a 'hall of science' that is decorated and furnished to evoke in patients feelings of calmness, harmony, and beauty ('fenius loci'). The author discusses the nature of psychokinesitherapy and a simplified system of exercises he developed. (Russian abstract) (17 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2002 APA, all rights reserved)
