HATHA YOGA TECHNIQUES IN COMPLEMENTARY AND
INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE HERE AND ABROAD
In the Philippines, local NGOs have taken the lead in integrating mind-body techniques in their work with communities. Foremost among them is INAM (INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE FOR ALTERNATIVE HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS), formerly Acupuncture and Therapeutic Research Center which pioneered in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture . INAM has now also incorporated Hatha Yoga in its basic courses. We have to mention the work of local yoga organizations like ANANDA MARGA (Maharlika)
which runs a wellness center in Cebu which integrates yoga techniques and ayurveda in their treatments.Overseas, there are many Indian research institutes which have put lots of time on research and clinical testing on the health applications of hatha yoga. Recently, many western institutes have developed similar programs. For some web links to Medical Institutes in the west which have employed hatha yoga techniques for complementary medicine, see the following:
