Promoting Public Health through Nervous System-Focused Yoga

Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health. It moves beyond a focus on individual behavior towards a wide range of social and environmental interventions.”

— World Health Organization

Resilience extends beyond individual traits;
it represents a global response to complex challenges.

Healthcare professionals, in the face of complex global problems, are at the forefront of addressing issues that extend beyond healthcare. Nervous system-focused yoga is a form of lifestyle medicine that promotes mental and physical health, offering complementary and holistic solutions for population health.

This approach aligns with the Whole Health Initiative and the Triple Aim of healthcare, providing a blueprint for reshaping the healthcare landscape on a systemic level.
