Attitudes are changing: a new global report reveals that yoga is a powerful path to wellbeing and therapeutic care not just exercise. This is something that we at the Minded Institute have witnessed for years: a major global shift in how yoga is understood - and used.
Yoga is no longer seen as just a series of postures. It’s increasingly recognised as a comprehensive wellbeing practice, one that includes breathing techniques, meditation, and lifestyle integration, with tangible benefits for both mental and physical health.
People are turning to yoga not for performance, but for support:
🧠 to manage anxiety and burnout
🫁 to regulate the nervous system
💓 to prevent and ease conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and chronic stress
🧘♀ and to cultivate clarity, presence, and emotional resilience.
📈 The EMR report projects sustained global growth through 2034, fuelled by rising demand for preventative, integrative approaches to health.
With growing recognition of yoga’s full therapeutic scope, this is a pivotal moment for yoga therapy—unleashing long-awaited momentum.
This is a landmark moment for yoga therapy, a field The Minded Institute has helped shape by combining traditional yogic knowledge with scientific rigour to support mental health, chronic conditions, and whole-person care.
Yoga is no longer being treated as something supplementary.
It’s being recognised for what it truly is: essential.
