The field of yogatherapy is evolving, blending traditional practices with modern technology to enhance therapeutic outcomes. Wearable devices now track physiological markers such as heart rate variability and breathing patterns, providing real-time feedback that helps practitioners fine-tune their sessions. Virtual reality environments are also being explored to create immersive mindfulness experiences that deepen relaxation and focus.
