Yoga In Healthcare
NPO acting for the inclusion of Yoga & Yoga Therapy
in an integrative healthcare system in Belgium
integrative healthcare
Integrative health care often brings conventional and complementary approaches together in a coordinated way. It emphasizes a holistic, patient-focused approach treating the whole person rather than one organ system. It aims for well-coordinated care between different providers and institutions.1

our actions
classes in healthcare centres
The collaboration with the Healthcare Centres includes informative sessions about the benefits of Yoga and Yoga Therapy for health and also Yoga lessons.
This is how it works. At first, the staff of the healthcare centre identifies the potential beneficiaries of Yoga. Afterwords, YIH organises the classes and provides: trained Yoga teacher, pedagogic support and equipment.
Moreover, we propose Yoga classes to the healthcare staff according to their availability. In this way, they can better understand the practice but also to foster well-being at work .
All costs are covered by the NPO.

"We believe that there will be no future for the health systems unless we're able to merge conventional medicine with more holistic approaches such as Yoga and Yoga therapy. Especially, with the growing body of evidence showing its benefits."
Fundraising
The activities of Yoga In Healthcare are financed by Yoga Studio222,
a mind and body-oriented studio located in Saint-Gilles.
