Exploring the benefits of yoga on social prescription, this book details  the 10-week Yoga4Health social prescribing programme developed by the  Yoga In Healthcare Alliance. This evidence-based prevention programme  targets NHS patients at risk of becoming chronically ill and supports  them to bring about lifestyle change through a daily yoga practice. The  programme is for patients who are socially isolated, at risk of  cardio-vascular disease or Type 2 diabetes, and those with stress or  mild-moderate anxiety/depression.

The authors present the theory  and background to the Yoga4Health Yoga on Prescription programme,  providing the reader with a detailed posture-by-posture guide to  teaching the protocol on a yoga mat, on the floor or in a chair.  Inspiring lifestyle changes that will positively affect long- and  short-term health, Yoga on Prescription is the perfect companion to  anyone wanting to teach the yoga for health and wellbeing.
