Fluid Intelligence: The Science and Biomedical Research on Yoga

On Thursday, March 31 @ 12:00pm (EDT), highly respected researcher, life-long yoga practitioner and sought-after speaker, Dr. Sat Bir Singh Khalsa will be speaking about “The Science and Biomedical Research on Yoga: Enhancing Mindfulness, Awareness and Global Consciousness”. 

You will learn about the cutting-edge research on yoga's effects on positive psychology characteristics, transcendence & spirituality, and their relevance to global consciousness. His research has also evaluated the effect of yoga and meditation on insomnia, depression, chronic stress, and other anxiety-related disorders.
