It was unique gathering in the form of the 19th International Yoga
Conference on Frontiers in Yoga Research & Its’ applications, being
organized at S-VYASA. Yoga University, Bengaluru. The theme of the conference is “Yoga for
Global Health, Peace and Education”.
This has evolved as a result of consequences the world has been facing
with regards to health, education and peace.
Remarkable advances in science and technology have
provided powerful tools in the fields of diagnosis, surgery and target oriented
pharmaceuticals and has actually taken us away from the natural and healthy
living. We are obsessed by the conventional
modern medical system for treating life style related disorders, which can be
easily treated by mere life style changes and few healthy habits. Modern medicine is promising in managing
these disorders but remains far unsuccessful in rendering a cure.
Yoga is an Art, a Science and Philosophy. More practically it is a way life. It was the subject of various eminent dignitaries
