Natalie Nevins, DO, is a board-certified osteopathic family physician and certified Yoga instructor in Los Angeles who says:  “As an osteopathic physician, I focus a lot of my efforts on preventive medicine and practices, and in the body’s ability to heal itself."

Yoga and meditation are an important part of her "treatment" plans for patients  because yoga delivers these physical benefits:
  • increased flexibility
  • increased muscle strength and tone
  • improved respiration, energy and vitality
  • maintaining a balanced metabolism
  • weight reduction
  • cardio and circulatory health
  • improved athletic performance
  • protection from injury

When yoga and meditation are both used, the result is stronger mental and spiritual health. Yoga and meditation practice "creates mental clarity and calmness; increases body awareness; relieves chronic stress patterns; relaxes the mind; centers attention; and sharpens concentration."
