NotYoga 2020 Symposium – supported by AMA CDT Chair and AMA Federal President

Drs Omar Khorshid and Hash Abdeen were able to join in and contribute to this year's inaugural NotYoga Symposium – an innovative program which included plenaries, TED style talks and interactive panels focused on the wellbeing of the profession.

To quote the event summary ”...yoga is great. We are for yoga and it is an important part of millions of people's lives around the world, including from a spiritual and cultural perspective. But it is not the antidote for a broken healthcare system, a quick fix for doctor's with compassion fatigue or instead of tackling the big problems.”
