RESOURCES
Medisinsk Yoga Norge is concerned with quality, where we want what is offered through our educations to be supported by research, specialist literature and practice. That is why we have brought in professionals who are specialists in their field. We have a physiotherapist and a midwife on the team - both with a background as yoga teachers.
These resource persons contribute as sparring partners and as main teachers in some of the courses we offer.
More people will come in here.
