Moving from Illness to Wellness: The Journey of Yoga Chikitsa
Speaker bio: Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani, MD (AltMed), MBBS, C-IAYT
In this keynote, Dr. Anandaji will focus on salutogenesis as a new paradigm in humanistic approaches to healthcare. He will trace the interconnectivity between traditional and contemporary concepts of yoga as therapy in health and disease. The importance of spirituality and personal sadhana (dedicated daily practice) will be emphasized as he shares perspectives on how yoga therapists can communicate with other modern healthcare channels for a true and holistic integration.
Yoga therapy’s whole-person approach enhances healing and manifests wellness that can reduce the burden on healthcare systems while enhancing benefits for care seekers. As Dr. Anandaji says, “We are here to provide the best possible care, and yoga as part of integrative medicine empowers us to do so.”
