Medisinsk Yoga Norge (MYN) is an educational institution consisting of a team of doctors, physiotherapists, trauma therapists and nurses (with additional training as midwives and acupuncturists.) All of them are yoga teachers with long experience of yoga, and especially yoga for people who struggle with stress, trauma, pain and sleep. We are concerned that what we offer is rooted in research, and is in dialogue with research environments.

​

Our intention is to make medical yoga available where people stay, such as rehabilitation centres, nursing homes, hospitals, associations and organisations. By offering modules adapted to health challenges and as prevention, employees and volunteers are certified in the relevant module so they can offer Medical Yoga to their user groups. The modules also work as a good supplement to other treatment you receive from the health service.

​

Certifying employees and volunteers helps to ensure that Medical Yoga can be offered as an activity and as often as you wish. The experiences from the arenas where this form of yoga has been offered show the satisfaction of the participants because the exercises are accessible and simple. Several have experienced this as an activity they master, which increases their activity level, strengthens self-care and improves their quality of life. Our yoga programs can be implemented as a whole or as individual techniques as support in everyday life.
