"I love continuing my education and this format with lifetime access was perfect for me. It was wonderful to have researchers from all around the world sharing their work and their views. Our host and the community were so engaging and it was exciting to see how many other people are interested in advancing this knowledge. I would definitely love to attend another conference with this group and I would absolutely recommend it to my fellow teachers and students. I already have been!"

All monetary contributions help support the conference, the speakers, the yoga teachers, and future scientific research on yoga.
April 23-27 is going to be jam-packed with practical takeaways to help you transcend misinformation and improve how you practice, teach, and advocate for yoga. But there is more to the conference than just the presentations...
The Lifetime-Access Passes offer you more opportunities to reinforce your learning, apply it during carefully chosen yoga classes, discuss all of your questions with real scientists, and connect with others to expand your viewpoints.
There are two upgrade options:
1️⃣ the Lifetime-Access Pass ONLINE
2️⃣ the Lifetime-Access Pass IN-PERSON
Both passes will include the following:
Take 2 yoga classes per day with highly experienced teachers, such as Eddie Stern and Tiffany Cruikshank. These will be available live or as recordings, and match the theme of each day, including yoga + brain injury, yoga + endocrine health, and yoga + reproductive health.
Join experiments to help you enjoy the fun of how science works and see the effects of yoga on your own neurophysiology. Examples include heart rate variability, cognitive tests, and mood studies. You will also be able to see how your results before and after yoga compare to your classmates.
You will have the unique opportunity to discuss all of your questions with the presenters, who are top scientists in the field.
You will have the recordings of all presentations, yoga classes, the experiment overview session, and question and answer sessions available to you forever. Simply log in to the Lifetime-Access Portal.
There will be detailed workbooks that serve almost as a textbook of takeaways for you to continue referencing after the conference. There will also be quizzes to reinforce your learning.
After completing the conference you will receive 30 hours of continuing education credit from the Yoga Alliance and from the International Association of Yoga Therapists.
All of the above, PLUS:

"I attended all of the sessions and have watched several multiple times. I can say that the conference was exceptional. There is no other conference with content of similar quality and as such it is unique."
"This is a conference you do not want to miss. Learning from dedicated and brilliant scientists and yogis in their fields is such an invaluable exchange of knowledge. This conference will expand your practice, inspire your personal growth and leave you in awe. Carve out this time for you, there's no other place you can learn from so many amazing humans from around the world. And it's fun too. Get the Lifetime-Access Pass!"
“Too often claims are made in yoga without a scientific basis. This conference should be a requirement for those wishing to receive a teacher training certificate. Attending is also likely to motivate you to continue learning what the evolving science has to say about the practice of yoga.”
“This was such an insightful and informative event! I'm completely honest when I say that there were so many golden nuggets in there, and as a yoga teacher myself, I got to learn about the scientific aspects of fear, pain, brain functions and more, which I take as an enrichment to my teaching. I also want to mention that all the knowledge was accessible, and even as a person who is very new to neuroscience. I also got inspired to read up on their other research studies, and am currently doing that! I would most definitely attend another Neuroscience and Yoga Online Conference.”
"This truly is an exceptional conference that exceeded my expectations. I learned so much on topics that I was hoping to and even more. The speakers are so knowledgeable and such great presenters, making the conference format being online easy to stay engaged. It’s not always easy to sit in online conferences for hours but this one was not hard to do at all. I’m excited to apply the knowledge practically in my upcoming classes and program as a yoga therapist who lives with chronic pain. Thank you and I look forward to the next one!"
This knowledge is often hidden in scientific literature, buried under complex language and jargon. Meanwhile, misinformation about science is spreading rapidly—especially on social media.
Yogis can benefit from a deeper understanding of science, just as scientists can gain insight from yoga. But this understanding must be grounded in evidence.
This conference aims to bridge the gap, fostering meaningful connections between scientists and yogis.
Experts in neuroscience and yoga come from every corner of the globe—this conference features speakers from Ireland, Germany, India, China, and the USA. The internet connects us all, making it easy for anyone to join from anywhere.
Online Component:
Presentations are available for 24 hours—or indefinitely with the Lifetime-Access Pass—ensuring global access and flexibility.
In-Person Component:
Many speakers and yoga teachers will also be hosted live in Jersey City, NJ, offering unique opportunities for meaningful, face-to-face connections.
This hybrid format combines the best of both worlds: convenient, worldwide access with the personal touch of in-person engagement for those who prefer it.
