Yoga4 NHS Staff
The Yoga4NHS programme is an evidence-based wellness and wellbeing course to equip staff with a toolkit of mind-body practices to reduce stress/anxiety, increase resilience and reduce burnout. The programme is accredited by the Royal College of General Practitioners, and builds on the success of the Yoga4Health social prescribing programme offered to patients, and was requested by healthcare leaders to support staff wellbeing and help to address the problem of high rates of sickness absence. Yoga4NHS has sustainability built into the programme by creating a network of cascade trainers of wellbeing practices that staff can share with each other. Yoga4NHS is a 6-week course of one-hour sessions delivered in-person in the workplace, or online. \
The next Yoga4NHS staff wellbeing programme is LIVE online on Zoom and free of charge on Wednesday evenings from 6-7pm, or 7.15-8.15pm. Yoga practice is gentle and can be done on a chair or on a yoga mat. No experience necessary. This 6-week course is accredited as CPD by the Royal College of General Practitioners. We offer a catch-up service so that you can watch a recording of any missed classes. These Yoga4NHS classes are taught by YIHA CEO, Paul Fox.
