🔬 What does the highest level of yoga research tell us?

This month we're spotlighting two powerful studies that highlight the therapeutic potential of yoga—and both were conducted as Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs), the gold standard in research.

✨ Healthy Aging Through Yoga
A 26-week study of older adults found that yoga improved metabolic health, brain health, heart health, social connection, and reduced frailty risk—even among participants who had never practiced yoga before.

✨ Virtual Yoga for Chronic Low Back Pain
A Cleveland Clinic study found that just 12 weeks of therapeutic yoga significantly reduced pain, improved function and sleep, and decreased pain medication use. Even more encouraging? The benefits were sustained after participants stopped practicing.

One of the most exciting findings from both studies: participants were yoga-naïve, showing that meaningful health benefits can emerge even with relatively short-term practice.

Explore both studies and discover how evidence-based yoga supports health, healing, and healthy aging.

We’re continuing to celebrate 40 years of Therapeutic Kundalini Yoga by sharing the story of how it all began—and the powerful teaching insights that grew from those early days.

From a first class in a mental health unit in the 1970s to working with students during the height of the AIDS crisis, this journey revealed something profound:

✨ Teach to the person, not the diagnosis
✨ Recovery requires a different approach than prevention
✨ Meet students where they are—and build from there

These simple yet transformative principles became the foundation of Therapeutic Kundalini Yoga—and continue to support healing across a wide range of conditions today.

Curious to read the full story and explore how these teachings evolved?
