Yoga has come to mean different things. It has proved its worth for millennia that it can ensure robust
health and wellness on terra firma. For those for whom Yoga is second nature due to regular practice,
the claims by way of benefits are pretty obvious. The International Day of Yoga 2016 is the inspiration
for the Workshop.
This free Workshop in the public interest, has the modest objective of looking at the scientific or
clinical evidence demonstrating that yogic exercises and breathing have salutary outcomes in
conditions such as arthritis, asthma, back ache, cancer, cardio-vascular issues including high and low
blood pressure, diabetes, mental depression sometimes caused by trauma, attention
deficit/hyperactivity disorder and other related illnesses.
