A warm online conference for serious learning - rigorous enough for clinicians, accessible enough for yoga teachers.
Why this conference
A calmer, clearer home for separating evidence from exaggeration - and helping yoga teachers apply science responsibly with more confidence and credibility.
This year's topics
Three deep dives into the science people ask about most.
Topic 1
Yoga + Migraine and Headache
Frequency, intensity, duration, disability, and autonomic function - with careful attention to safety, pacing, and neurological context.
Topic 2
Yoga + Schools and Neurodiversity
Behavior, mental health, academic performance, autism, and ADHD - including where the evidence is promising and still developing.
Topic 3
Yoga + Brain Longevity®
What is promising for cognitive health across the lifespan, and what still needs better evidence before making strong claims.
Speakers
Learn from people who bridge science, healthcare, and yoga practice.
The Encore features education from physicians, neuroscientists, psychologists, researchers, yoga therapists, teacher trainers, and experienced yoga teachers.
Neurology | Neuroscience | Yoga research | Yoga therapy
What you get
A clearer, more credible way to understand, teach, and advocate for yoga.
Yoga is powerful, but public conversation around yoga is often filled with vague claims, neuroscience myths, and oversimplified health promises.
This conference helps you understand what science actually shows, what is promising, and how to apply it responsibly in practice, teaching, and care.
1
Evidence-based education
Learn from presenters who define terms clearly and distinguish evidence from speculation.
2
Teaching credibility
Speak about yoga science responsibly with students, clients, colleagues, and institutions.
3
Scientific humility
Respect yoga tradition and modern research without inflated or one-size-fits-all claims.
Who this is for
You do NOT need a PhD to belong here. We explain the science clearly, define key terms, and focus on practical application. Academic credentials are welcome, not required. Curiosity is enough.
Yoga teachers
Yoga therapists
Healthcare professionals
Researchers and students
Teacher trainers

Designed to feel rigorous, but without academic pre-requisites.
