NeuroYoga 2018

What happens to the brain during and after yoga? What are the biological changes that make yoga so effective in bringing about “radiant health, mental sharpness, and peace of mind,” as Sri Dharma Mittra likes to say?

We will begin with a yoga practice including asana (the postures), pranayama (the breathing exercises), meditation, and relaxation. The practice will be followed by a lecture and discussion of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology as it relates to yoga. You will even have the chance to participate in an experiment during class, which will give you real time feedback on the functions of your brain!

All levels of yoga practice (including beginners) and all levels of science training (including children) are welcome to attend. The cost is $9 per person, which must be paid at the Dharma Yoga Center.

This event is one of many that make up Brain Awareness Week 2018. Visit http://comebebrainy.com/brainy/ for more information.

Led by Jonathan Rosenthal, medical student at NYU, and Ryan Shewcraft, PhD, postdoc at NYU.
