WELCOME TO YOGA IN HEALTH CARE ALLIANCE
- The Yoga In Healthcare Alliance (YIHA) is a UK-registered charity (1190806 England and Wales; SC051785 Scotland) dedicated to integrating the benefits of evidence-based yoga into healthcare.
- YIHA works with the NHS to support patients at risk of chronic illness to help them make lifestyle changes by developing a personalised toolkit of mind-body practices.
- YIHA was commissioned by the NHS to create the 10-week Yoga4Health social prescribing programme, which is delivered by over 500 Yoga4Health teachers in the UK and abroad and is accredited by the Personalised Care Institute.
- We also offer the Yoga4NHS staff wellbeing programme which for three years until September 2025 was accredited as CPD by the Royal College of GPs.
- YIHA is home to a growing number of yoga teachers who wish to be associated with our mission, and with health rather than sport.
- We provide a full professional framework of policies, and Covid guidance. Click on the Join Us tab for more details about the benefits of membership and how you can get teaching insurance via YIHA
