Publishing Research That Shapes the Future

The scientific approach to yoga research was first initiated by Shri Yogendraji in 1918 with the establishment of the world’s first organized yoga research center—marking a transformative shift from traditional practice to systematic study. His pioneering vision laid the foundation for understanding yoga not only as a spiritual discipline but also as a practical science that could be studied, documented, and applied for holistic well-being.

This legacy was thoughtfully advanced by Dr. Jayadeva Yogendra and Dr. Hansa Yogendra, who brought depth and structure to the therapeutic applications of yoga. Their work focused on integrating yogic principles with modern medical science, making yoga accessible as a preventive and curative tool for various physical, mental, and psychosomatic conditions.
