Sacha Yoga May Help to Stretch the Budget of the NHS

benefit? The truth is that until recently, there has been a shortage of evidence when it comes to the benefits of yoga. People have said time and time again that it makes them feel great, but there hasn’t been much scientific evidence to prove it.

The times are changing and there is now plenty of evidence that shows that yoga is good for your mental and even your physical health! A study was done in 2017 and it showed that musculoskeletal conditions were reduced by a significant amount after an 8-week yoga program. Another study looked at the quality of life and argued that professional medical yoga really is a cost-effective treatment. It’s also great for lower back pain, and this is interesting to say the least.

If you work in homecare or in the field of private nursing, then you should note that Simon Stevens announced that yoga really should be offered to all staff in the NHS. This is something that is yet to be rolled out, but that being said, things could be about to change.

It’s not just the NHS workforce that could benefit from this. The art of yoga can help you to boost your overall flexibility and it can also help you to boost your strength too. It helps with your joints and legs, not to mention that it can also boost your strength and coordination. This could really help the nursing industry and it just goes to show that more needs to be done and that more attention needs to be paid to programs like this. Only time will tell if this is going to happen or if it is going to come into play.
