The potentials of Yoga training as a low-cost preventive health care practice and tool for rehabilitation was presented by Dr. Dante G. Simbulan, Jr. on November 20, 2008 during the 3- day annual celebration of TRADITIONAL MEDICINE WEEK organized by the Philippine Institute of Traditional and Alternative Health Care (PITAHC) of the Philippine Government's Department of Health.
