Yoga In Healthcare

Yoga In Healthcare aims to create an integrative healthcare system, in which Yoga and Yoga Therapy, considered to be complementary, preventive and curative practices, are made affordable & accessible through their inclusion in the Belgian healthcare system. Yoga In Healthcare has three main objectives: 1) To obtain the recognition of Yoga and Yoga therapy as complementary preventive and curative science in Belgium; 2) To develop a model for the delivery of Yoga and Yoga Therapy through existing health institutions and reimbursement systems in Belgium; 3) To obtain the recognition of Yoga therapists and Yoga teachers, with advanced knowledge of yoga for health conditions, as paramedical professionals from the Belgian health system. Our ongoing actions: - Providing yoga classes in healthcare centres; - Sharing evidence on the positive effects of Yoga for physical and mental health; - Scientific research, aiming to develop adapted models of Yoga and Yoga Therapy to the Belgian healthcare system; - Integrating yoga in healthcare, through the creation of a stakeholders network. Our actions are financed by Studio222, a space to rent to Yoga teachers in order to sustain our projects.
