ABSTRACT

This chapter aims to analyse therapeutic landscapes according to the way that they are produced and reproduced in the globalization process. It considers the therapeutic landscape concept to incorporate different environmental, cultural and social elements that play a role in healing and well-being. The chapter demonstrates that therapeutic landscapes are produced and reproduced worldwide. It discusses the geographical approach to the interaction between the macroscale, and the microscale. The chapter describes the links between health, healing and yoga, and how these relationships have developed. It provides an overview of the practice of yoga, and how the relationship between yoga and health and healing has been constructed through time. Essentially, yoga is a complex discipline that involves practices of the physical body, while incorporating philosophical, religious or cultural concerns. The introduction of yoga in Europe, for example, in the mid-twentieth century was made through a series of public performances.
