MediYoga – Medical Yoga , a therapeutic form of yoga. Every year, we train hundreds of nurses, physiotherapists, therapists and doctors in long, deep breathing and other simple techniques which, they in turn, teach to their patients and clients.
As MediYoga practitioners, we have achieved remarkable success in combining age-old holistic tools with modern medicine. Orthodox medicine is superb at emergency care while yoga is a complete philosophical system that supports our own healing process. Many of our instructors and therapists are healthcare professionals who now use MediYoga as a complementary tool in their everyday work.
MediYoga started to take shape as early as 1998, when an initial partnership project was launched with the Karolinska Institute, Sweden, one of the world´s leading medical universities. This consisted of a study into what yoga could offer for patients with chronic back pain.
Our aim is to make yoga a natural part of society and an everyday feature of people’s lives, in school, at work, in the healthcare sector etc.
This is where yoga is needed. We do this via new research projects, developing courses and services that help make yoga more accessible and available where it delivers genuine benefits – right in the heart of fast paced modern everyday life.
