The International Journal of Yoga-based Therapeutics in Nursing (IJYTN) is a biannual, peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal dedicated to exploring the integration of yoga practices and philosophies into nursing care and healthcare delivery. Our mission is to promote holistic healing by merging ancient yogic wisdom with modern evidence-based nursing approaches, aiming to enhance patient outcomes, caregiver well-being, and healthcare system sustainability.
