The action plan of Yoga In Healthcare runs over 10 years and 3 phases (horizons in the table).
The phase I started in 2020 and will finish in 2023/24. This phase aims to implement free hatha yoga sessions in health centres in the Brussels region and neighbouring. We intend to familiarise medical and paramedical personnel about yoga and yoga therapy. Moreover, we want to inform yoga teachers about scientific evidence-based effects of yoga practices.
The phase II (2026/27) will pursue the integration of yoga therapy session into primary health care. To do that, we foresee a collaboration with an academic research group to implement a research project about yoga inclusion into the health sector. Afterwards, we will create a model for the integration of yoga and yoga therapy into primary health care in Belgium.
Finally, in the phase III (2030), we aspire to publish and disseminate scientific research about the project. Also, we intend to lobby and advocate for the inclusion of yoga and yoga therapy into the healthcare system.
Here, a summary of what we envision to achieve with this project in the following years.
