Thank you to everyone who joined us today for AAAP’s International Day of Yoga 2026 program, Yoga Beyond the Mat: Mindfulness, Ayurvedic Lifestyle & Daily Wellness.
On behalf of the American Association of Ayurvedic Professionals, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to our distinguished speakers—Dr. Shanmugamurthy Lakshmanan, Dr. Amit Gumman, Vd. Deepa Bhatt, Vd. Meenakshi Gupta, Madison Madden, and Ashwini Surpur—for generously sharing their wisdom and insights with the AAAP community.
Together, we explored a diverse range of topics, including:
• Marma, Yoga and the Emerging Science of Psycho-Ophthalmology – Dr. Shanmugamurthy Lakshmanan
• Mindfulness, Breath Awareness, and Inner Observation – Dr. Amit Gumman
• The Sonic Dinacharya: Integrating Music Therapy and Sound Wellness into Ayurvedic Daily Rhythms – Vd. Deepa Bhatt
• Conscious Consumption: Nourishing the Body, Mind, and Senses Through Ayurveda – Vd. Meenakshi Gupta
• Brahmacharya: Reclaiming a Misunderstood Practice – Madison Madden
• The Choice of Action in Karma Yoga – Ashwini Surpur
Today’s conversations beautifully reminded us that Yoga does not end when we roll up the mat, and Ayurveda does not end when we finish our meals. Both invite us to live with greater awareness and to choose, again and again, what truly nourishes our body, mind, and senses.
We are grateful to our Board of Directors, members, volunteers, and participants whose support and presence made this event a meaningful celebration of International Day of Yoga.
