Yoga In Healthcare
NPO acting for the inclusion of Yoga & Yoga Therapy
in an integrative healthcare system in Belgium
the yih vision
YIH wants to create a model of integration of Yoga & Yoga Therapy into the modern healthcare systems. In other words,Yoga & Yoga Therapy are complementary, preventive and curative practice.
integrative healthcare
Integrative healthcare brings conventional and complementary approaches together in a coordinated way. To do that, a well-coordinated care between different providers and institutions is needed. It is crucial to treat the whole person, rather than one organ system. This is possible, thanks to a holistic and patient-focused approach to healthcare. 1Source: NCCIH

our actions
activities
to integrate yoga
in health centres
Firstly, organisation of affordable Hatha Yoga classes for the patients registered within the healthcare centre.
Secondly, informative sessions about Yoga, Yoga Therapy and their benefits for health, for the medical and paramedical personnel.
Moreover, based on requests, planning Hatha Yoga classes for the personnel of the healthcare centre.
Finally, monitoring and evaluation of the activities through qualitative and quantitative data collections.
"We believe that the future of the healthcare system lies in the combination of modern medicine with Yoga and Yoga Therapy. Moreover, health and wellbeing greatly depend on the individual's lifestyle habits and personal story that are aspects tackled by holistic approaches."
