Is Yoga Medicine?
Yoga Therapy Enters the Arena
LA Yoga article by Julie Deife
At a time when the U.S. healthcare system is being decried as broken, bloated, inefficient
and a pawn of the pharmaceutical industry, what should yogis be thinking to even
consider getting involved, some might ask.
"This is a thought-provoking, insightful and challenging article. IAYT and
our contributors address these issues in every issue of Yoga Therapy in Practice,
in the International Journal of Yoga Therapy, and at SYTAR."
-John Kepner, IAYT Executive Director
