Yoga's Growing Role in Modern Healthcare: A Look at Who's Using It

Over a span of five years, from 2019 to 2023, a large hospital in India tracked the people visiting its yoga clinic. They found that most of these visitors were not very active in their daily lives, but they were looking for help with their health. The clinic saw almost 2, 819 new patients during this time. Most of these patients had issues with their muscles and bones. This makes sense because yoga is great for improving flexibility and strength. But there were also many people who came in with mental health problems. This shows that yoga is not just about physical health. It can also help people feel better mentally.The hospital used a standard system to classify the health problems of these patients. This system is used worldwide, so it's easy to compare these findings with other studies. The fact that so many people are turning to yoga for help with both physical and mental health issues is a big deal. It's interesting to see how yoga is becoming more popular in hospitals. It's not just a trend. It's a real part of healthcare now. This study gives us a good look at who is using yoga and why. It also shows that yoga can be a helpful tool for many different health problems.
