Are you constantly asking “Why?” “Where did that information come from?” If you are a curious yoga nerd like me, you need to feed your curiosity by learning about the evidence that supports yoga’s effects.
In writing SCIENCE OF YOGA as a reference book, it was important to me to use as many peer-reviewed research papers and other reliable sources as possible. However, the intended audience for the book is the general public, and my publisher doesn’t typically include citations to references for books like this. I insisted on at least including a bibliography, so my editor squeezed more than 10 single-spaced pages of references into a few pages in the back of the book (see page 214 of SCIENCE OF YOGA). I am happy that the evidence base made it in, but it’s challenging to use in this format! Plus, new research is constantly being released. I needed a place to share studies not discussed in SCIENCE OF YOGA.
This eBook acts as a helpful companion and reference guide to the research studies from SCIENCE OF YOGA, helping yoga nerds like us dive deeper. It can also be used on its own to outline the body of research that supports yoga’s benefits.
