2nd International Yoga and mind-body practice conference: Book of abstracts

Abstract

On behalf of the conference organising team, it is with great pleasure that we present this compilation of abstracts from the Yoga Conference 2024 held at the University of Central Lancashire. This conference has brought together a diverse group of scholars, practitioners, and enthusiasts from around the globe, all united by a shared passion for yoga and its multifaceted benefits.
The abstracts contained within this book reflect the breadth and depth of contemporary yoga studies. From exploring the physiological impacts of yoga on the human body to examining its psychological and spiritual dimensions, these abstracts offer a glimpse into the innovative and rigorous work being conducted in this field. Each contribution is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the authors, who have generously shared their insights and findings with the broader community.
As we navigate the complexities of modern life, the relevance of yoga as a tool for holistic well-being has never been more apparent. The studies presented here not only advance our understanding of yoga but also highlight its potential to foster resilience, peace, and harmony in our daily lives. We hope that this collection will inspire further research, practice, and dialogue, contributing to the ongoing evolution of yoga as both a science and an art.
I extend our heartfelt gratitude to Sam Pywell, Ambreen Chohan, and the University of Central Lancashire for their support, enthusiasm, and leadership in making this event a resounding success. Your commitment to excellence and your unwavering enthusiasm have been instrumental in bringing this conference to fruition. May the diffusion of knowledge shared within these pages serve as a foundation for future discoveries and a source of inspiration for all who seek to deepen their engagement with yoga.
