On behalf of the organising committee of International Conference on Frontiers in Yoga Science and Application (INCOFYRA), staff of S-VYASA & VYASA and International Yoga Association (IYA), I welcome you to the 22nd INCOFYRA happening between 6th and 8th of January, 2018 at Prashanti Kutiram campus of S-VYASA University. The theme for the 22nd INCOFYRA, “Integrative Oncology”, has been chosen with an aim to propose and promote integration of traditional systems of medicine to combat the growing prevalence of cancer incidences. The prevalence of cancer has increased over the past decade and is expected to rise by 8% in the next 5 years. Traditional approach is becoming more and more sought after because of its obvious benefits like low cost, no side effects and its ability to bring about overall improvement. The cancer treatment is very expensive which is beyond reach of 60% of the world population. Also debilitating side effects of the conventional treatment is a much discussed topic in the medical fraternity as is the need for improvement in the palliative care of the cancer survivors. Several traditional remedies especially from Ayurveda, Siddha and traditional medicines are gaining popularity because of its considerable low cost. While Yoga, with its ability to bring about overall psychological and physiological betterment, has been shown to convincingly address the consequences arising out of cancer and/or its treatment along with reducing the number of remissions. Though elaborate description of cancer etiology and pathology is available, courtesy modern medical research, combating the disease with surefooted accuracy is still awaited. Cue has to be taken from modern medical research to adopt its empirical methodologies to bring out evidence for the curative vistas of traditional systems of medicine. Simultaneously the need of the hour is to shed light on best way to integrate the knowledge from different systems systematically for plebeian benefit. An effort is made in this direction through 22nd INCOFYRA by bringing national and international experts in different medical systems to Prashanti Kutiram campus. In the invited talks section accomplished scientists and doctors will enlighten us on the recent advances in cancer treatment and basic science research in cancer. In poster and oral presentations we have tried to give exposure to novel concepts and research work not limited to Cancer but overall application and understanding of different non-stereotypical ideas. Panel discussion sessions is where experts from research, medical profession, policy makers and pharmaceutical industry partners will churn out direction for dissemination of wisdom to help the commoner. On the whole we sincerely hope and wish this 22nd INCOFYRA will forge the integration intent stronger in the medical and research fraternity. Cost and cure will be better taken care by integrating the Best of the East with the Best of the West in Medical practice.

Such studies fi nd that participation in Yoga programs ranging from a weekend to many months systematically increases subtle energy. Here, we report comparison of Jing-Well point conductances before and after sitting in Lotus Posture with those before and after sitting in a chair. Methods: This was a controlled study conducted on 52 male Yoga practitioners (mean age in years 23.03 ± 3.23), all with >1 year experience of Yoga practices. Participants were alternately assigned into two groups, sitting in Lotus Posture and sitting in a chair. Each was measured on 3 successive days, before and after sitting as instructed for 10 min on the 1st day, 20 min on the 2nd day, and 30 min on the 3rd day. Results: The two groups yielded completely different results: those sitting in Lotus Posture for 30 min showed increases in subtle energy levels (E_Ls) in all acupuncture meridians; those sitting in chair produced universal decreases. Results for 10 and 20 min showed how these changes in energy values took time to build up with increasing time. Conclusions: Sitting in Lotus Posture is held to strongly stimulate subtle E_Ls, so results agreed with the experimental hypothesis. Nevertheless, decreases in E_Ls of those sitting in a chair were surprising since the rest might be expected to have no effect.Item 21st INCOFYRA(SVYASA, 2016-01-03) SVYASAMy dear brothers and sisters... I extend a warm welcome and congratulate all of you for participating in this unique gathering- The International Conference on Frontiers in Yoga Research and its Applications (INCOFYRA), from Jan 3 – 7, 2016 organised by VYASA, Bengaluru. The theme for this 21st version of INCOFYRA, ‘Integrating the Best of the East with the Best of the West in Medical practice’, is of high relevance for addressing general health problems worldwide. The focus of the scientific sessions will be on covering the latest trends in prevention, management and rehabilitation of ills associated with major Non-Communicable diseases like Diabetes, Hypertension, Cardiovascular disease and Cancer. The conference is expected to bolster the integration discussion by bringing experts, in medical practice and research, from Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, Homeopathy and Modern Medicine on a common platform. The importance of doing this is corroborated due to backing by visionaries, prominent among them Shri Narendra Modi Ji, Honourable Prime Minister of India, who will be inaugurating this milestone event.Item YOGA SANGAM: International Conference 2012(Yoga Bharati, 2012-09-08) Yoga Bharati, USAI Congratulate yoga bharati on completing 10 years of its mission of spreading the awareness of holisic nature of yoga into the west.

Although the brain is fairly well developed at birth, cognitive development is a life-long process. The intelligent but ordinary human being depends on sensory input and reasoning for shaping his world view. A unique feature of the human brain is cerebral asymmetry. It effectively doubles the capabilities of the brain for a given brain size. The ability to acquire knowledge by identity is not, however, inherent in human beings at the present stage of evolution. Then came functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Artificial neural networks are composed of interconnected units. Finally, it uses an input-output function to transform the input into its outgoing activity.Item OTHER APPLICATIONS OF YOGA(S-VYASA, 2000-12) S-VYASAItem MEDICAL APPLICATIONS OF YOGA(S-VYASA, 2000-12) S-VYASA
