Physicians Prescribe Yoga

Finally more health care providers are recognizing the benefits of Yoga for their patients. I have been lucky to connect with such incredible Reproductive Specialists in Vancouver and the lower mainland that believe in the value of Yoga for Fertility for their patients. They have seen the difference when women attend classes. I am deeply grateful to be able to witness such incredible transformations from week 1 to week 6. It is really challenging to capture in words how much the classes help physically, mentally and emotionally. I have begun a research initiative with Clementine Hudson from LifeStreams to begin to measure the positive effects Fertility Yoga classes have on women. It will take some time to collect the data but we will share results as soon as possible. It is exciting! This means more classes will continue to be available all over the world. I will continue to train Fertility Yoga Instructors so that more women have access to these transformational and empowering classes.

Hi,
Yoga is beneficial for the health in ways that modern science is just beginning to understand. Even though it has beenapplied with therapeutic intention for thousand of years, Yoga Therapy is only just now emerging as a discipline initself.
More health care practitioners are starting to include yogic techniques in their approach to healing -- andmore yoga teachers give a therapeutic intention to their teaching. People who have never tried yoga before are startingto consider including Yoga in their treatment plan.
As science begins to document the importance of understanding the interrelation of all existing things, it looks to Yogawith an intrigued eye, for Yoga speaks Unity in every word. As yoga techniques are researched and new data is gathered,it becomes easier for science and the medical establishment to understand and accept the benefits of Yoga Therapy.Yet there is still not one consensual definition of the discipline.
In order to arrive to an adequate definition and tocome up with proper standards for Yoga Therapy, it is crucial at this early stage to properly address some delicateprofessional and ethical issues. At the same time it is important to educatethegeneralpublic about Yoga Therapy'sbenefits and careful use.
so this article will really helpful to me..
