Big -- and sometimes conflicting -- claims are made about yoga research, daily. It would be impossible to verify or debunk every one. What we CAN do is harness tools of research to better understand original scientific evidence for ourselves, our students and our community. Don't let the idea of looking at original literature intimidate you. Join us! (replay will be available)

Demystifying Scientific Research on Yoga
Join this free webinar uncovering foundational principles of our approach at Yoga Anatomy Academy.
Why the research matters
Yoga helps people. So why do we need scientific literature to "prove" that? We will start by building the understanding of why evidence matters, with an honest look at both its strengths and limitations.
Where to find the research
Lots of things are behind paywalls these days, including a lot of published scientific research. But reputable sources still offer plenty of information to guide our understanding.
What we seek
Confusingly, both "good" evidence, and poor quality research show up on the internet -- rarely in the ratio we want to see! Both are labeled "research". Both are labeled "evidence". This workshop will share steps to understand nuances in quality and how to spot exaggerated claims.
