Over the past twelve years, we’ve worked with and alongside healthcare workers to develop and deliver yoga interventions for individuals facing addiction, cancer, eating disorders, and post-traumatic stress.
Our interventions are evidence-based, clinically tested, and appropriately standardized for research purposes.
