Neuroscience of Yoga Theory and Practice: Part 1

Master the Neuroscience of Yoga: Uniting Tradition and Neural Science for Holistic Health

Delve into this authoritative volume that bridges ancient mind‑body practices with modern neuroscientific insight. Combining experimental theory and clinical application, the book offers a deep exploration of how yoga and mindfulness shape brain function, immune modulation, and overall well‑being.

Key Features:

Integrative Mind‑Brain Framework: Explains how yoga, pranayama, and meditation influence neural circuits, neurotransmission, and immune activity to support emotional balance, stress resilience, and cognitive health.
Evidence-Based Protocols: Offers chapters detailing flowcharts, physiological monitoring strategies, and protocols for assessing neurocognitive and psychosocial outcomes in diverse populations.
Target Conditions and Benefits: Examines the use of yoga-based interventions in palliative care, cardiovascular health, neuropsychological rehabilitation, and preventive wellness across the lifespan.
Innovative Research Tools: Highlights advanced methodologies—such as computer-vision systems, Ayurgenomics approaches, and neuroimaging biomarkers—to unpack mechanistic and outcome-driven research.
Global Interdisciplinary Perspectives: Contributions from top experts in neuroscience, integrative medicine, and clinical research provide an inclusive and culturally informed narrative on yoga’s scientific impact.

Ideal for neuroscientists, clinicians, integrative health scholars, and mindfulness researchers, this volume equips readers with rigorously grounded evidence and practical frameworks to apply yoga both as a therapeutic tool and a vehicle for brain health optimization.
