Our
Mission Statement
The integration of yoga within contemporary healthcare can give people
more tools for improving health. When we practice yoga we join body,
mind and spirit which enhances our tremendous capacity for healing.
We can learn to take a more active role in our own health and well-being.
The philosophy of 'Yoga in Healthcare' is to support and develop ways
of bringing the ancient teachings of yoga into contemporary healthcare
settings for those receiving care and for the caregivers.
