Background & Key Goals:

Redefining Yoga Beyond Physical Practice

In general, yoga is perceived as physical practices related to postures (Asanas) and breathing techniques (Pranayama). Within narrower segments, meditation and devotional practices (Bhakti Yoga) are also acknowledged as part of yoga. However, the deeper philosophical view of yoga—as the basis of creation, existence, purpose of life and dissolution, as conveyed in the Yoga Sūtras of Patanjali—is often overlooked by many organizations, even though they may know it.

As a result, focus has been on specific practices of Asanas, Pranayama and Meditation. This completely ignores the fact that traditions in every part of the world have rituals in daily life, annual and life-cycle observances (e.g., Vedic Samskaras) that are yogic in nature.
This First International Conference on Yoga Concepts for Global Application will seek to introduce the lifecycle and lifestyle concept of yoga, individual and social aspects of yoga (related to Dharma)—in other words, the duties we as humans are bound to follow for individual fulfillment and cosmic harmony.
This conference introduces several programs to Indian organizations and public to inspire sponsorship, adoption, dissemination and re-education of the gems in the Indian culture. Post-conference courses provide training opportunities in some of these programs.
