Seminar Announcement Date: Friday, 18 August 2023 Time: 3:30 PM Venue: Seminar Hall The Science of Yoga Tapen Sinha Chennai Mathematical Institute. 18-08-23 Abstract Yoga is thousands of years old. Globally, the most popular form of yoga is the modern postural yoga. This talk will concentrate solely on this form of yoga. While the practice of modern postural form is about a century old - the scientific study - that examines the hormonal impact - is only a few decades old. Until now, examining hormonal changes through blood tests and brain scans were very expensive to conduct even on hundreds of subjects. I will discuss new lines of scientific studies in the form of randomized controlled trials. I will discuss the limitations of these experiments. [I will do a few demonstrations without flying across the room.]
