Meditació per a la cura

La Fundació Lotus Blau ofereix classes, a l'Hospital de Mataró que porta a terme un projecte d'estudi per malalts de càncer en procés de tractament. Aquestes classes estan subvencionades en el 100% del seu cost. Són classes molt restauratives i estan dissenyades per donar suport a pacients que estan en procés de tractament, combinant la meditació, exercicis de respiració, de relaxació, i exercicis d'estiraments molt suaus.

Els beneficis que molts practicants de Yoga han experimentat, han portat a fer un seguit d'estudis científics per identificar-los clarament durant aquestes classes. Aquests són alguns dels estudis que estan ara en progrés per parts d'universitats i entitats de molta reputació als EU.
