Yoga therapy alongside the care you provide
Mindful Yogis offers evidence-informed yoga therapy for people managing ongoing health challenges. It works alongside medical and psychological care, never in place of it, and is delivered entirely online across the Netherlands and Europe.
People managing ongoing health conditions and concerns
- Burnout and chronic stress
- Anxiety
- Low mood
- Multiple sclerosis and other chronic or neurological conditions
Understand
An intake to understand the person's condition, history, present capacity, and how daily life is affected.
Adapt
A structured, individualised practice drawn from movement, breath, relaxation, attention, and reflection.
Review
Validated check-ins to see what is changing, and adjust the practice accordingly.
Progress is reviewed, and the limits are stated plainly
Participants complete validated starting and closing assessments, so we are not relying on general impressions. The available evidence is Karthikeyan's MSc study on burnout, together with ongoing before-and-after outcome data from the anxiety programme. Both are matched pre and post measures.
To be clear about what this is: our own programme outcome data and a summary of an MSc thesis. Neither has been published as a peer-reviewed clinical trial, and participants were not randomly assigned. A fuller outcome summary is available to referring clinicians on request.
Working within a defined scope
Mindful Yogis works alongside medical and psychological care and does not diagnose or replace treatment. Where someone is already under your care, yoga therapy remains complementary. I refer back when something falls outside my scope or requires clinical review.
Where appropriate, yoga therapy may sit alongside planned care while someone is waiting for another service to begin.
What happens when you refer someone
How they reach me
In most cases the person contacts me directly after you suggest it. If you prefer to make the introduction, you can share their details with their consent.
We begin with a consultation
Every referral starts with a free consultation to understand the situation and confirm that yoga therapy is appropriate and within scope.
Health information
I ask only for what is relevant, gathered at intake and with the person's consent. Nothing is required from you upfront to make a referral.
Medical clearance
Where a specific risk warrants it, I ask the person to confirm clearance from you or the relevant clinician before beginning.
What comes back to you
With the person's consent, I can send a brief note on the focus of the work and their participation. Individual health information is not shared without consent.
When I refer back
If something falls outside my scope or needs clinical review, I refer back to you. Yoga therapy remains complementary throughout.
Refer a patient, or ask a question first
If you are considering whether yoga therapy may be relevant for someone under your care, or would like to understand the approach before referring, write to me directly.
