Yoga has become increasingly popular as a way of promoting general fitness, improving mental health, resilience and awareness, and creating a balance between body, mind and spirit. It is highly effective as a preventive practice and it has significant potential as a medical therapy.

An ancient practice, it has an integral part to play in today’s society for physical, mental and spiritual health, especially in its promotion of quality of life and life purpose and meaning.

Guest speaker: Prof Sat Bir Singh Khalsa Ph.D. is an instructor of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan, director of research for the Kundalini Research Institute and the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health, and Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. He has conducted yoga research trials on insomnia, stress and anxiety disorders, and yoga in schools. He is editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Yoga Therapy and the medical textbook The Principles and Practice of Yoga in Health Care, and author of the Harvard ebook Your Brain on Yoga.
