BDYoga Continuous education: Yoga for T2D

Diabetes seems to be as old as mankind itself. Even the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Indians had records of diabetes. Today, diabetes is one of the fastest growing widespread diseases. Worldwide, for example, almost one in ten people will develop type 2 diabetes in the course of their lives, and in Germany around 20 per cent will develop prediabetes.

Due to its gradual development, diabetes often goes unnoticed for too long. This is increasingly becoming a problem for individuals and society. Causes or aggravators are sugar-heavy eating habits, lack of exercise, prolonged stress and smoking. Diabetes therapy therefore also means supporting people in changing their behaviour towards a healthier lifestyle.
