Sharing Evidence
There is a growing body of evidence on the positive effects
of Yoga for physical and mental health.
how we disseminate such evidence?
- An online repository of scientific publications, some of which have a YIH overview and summary;
- Information and links about Yoga and healthcare on our Facebook page;
- Informative sessions about Yoga and Yoga Therapy for health.
library
We built an online library in which we publish references to scientific publications, and full text, if possible.
Also, for several articles a YIH overview will be available, followed by a summary when relevant.
Initiative on Facebook
Convinced about the fact that yoga is for EVERY-BODY, we published a series of yoga poses each of which has one or more adaptations.
The eased poses were made with pillows, chairs, belts, bricks, ..
Here, some exemples of this project.

informative sessions
In November 2019 we had our first informative session in Brussels.
That event had the purpose to present our project, to share our vision, the action plan and its concrete objectives.
It was a gathering of healthcare professionals, yoga teachers and therapists as well as yoga students.
We envisioned that moment as an opportunity to connect two worlds,
to share experiences and needs, to exchange visions, as well as to create a community of action.
In March 2021 we had our second informative session at De Brug Community Health Centre in Brussels.
This event came after the final report of the YIH pilot project carried out over 3 months from September and December 2020. During this info session, we explained to physicians and paramedics the positive impact of Yoga and Yoga Therapy on the wellbeing of the patients.
Firstly, we showed how a yoga session is conceived in this particular context. Secondly, we delineated what is Yoga and Yoga Therapy supported by scientific evidence. Finally, we presented the next steps of YIH project at De Brug CHC and, more in general, of YIH mission.
