Yoga Health Connect

YHC offers a unique, professional approach to health sector engagement via GP surgeries, hospital departments and professional and academic research to build the yoga therapy and therapeutic yoga evidence base.  This is an essential core characteristic of YHC service delivery.

The YHC vision is to empower individuals who have a health condition and health professionals to make confident choices when seeking therapeutic yoga and yoga therapy in their communities.  YHC delivers services via health-related organisations and recognised medical pathways of intervention as a support to individuals and end users who may otherwise be unable to access yoga that is suitable for them, e.g. due to cost or scepticism of the benefits of yoga or fear of going to a yoga class.

With empathy, dignity and humility YHC practitioners will support people who currently experience a lack of social or economic privilege to gain access to yoga as a person-centred source for wellness and to benefit from undertaking yoga practice as a holistic healing modality.

YHC will connect people, those who are in receipt of support from health care providers (including GPs, consultants, etc.) and keyed into local community services or third sector services, with suitable therapeutic yoga based on their needs.  YHC will provide an approved service which has been appropriately designed with specific client groups in mind.  YHC will work in conjunction with health specialists to achieve the most impactful outcomes that are possible for the individuals that receive the yoga service.
