MORE ABOUT THE SURVEY
This 10-minute online survey aims to explore healthcare practitioners’ attitudes toward yoga for health including willingness to recommend yoga to patients. The findings will contribute to discussions about the role of yoga in healthcare.
We invite all qualified and licensed healthcare professionals treating patients in the UK to please participate. This includes general practitioners, specialist doctors, nurses, psychologists, physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, dietitians, nutritional therapists, and more. No knowledge or experience of yoga is required and all views are welcome!
A summary of the survey findings will be available here on completion of the study
