Yenepoya Naturopathy & Yogic Science College Holds CME ‘SUTRA VIJNANA – 2023’

Mangaluru: Yogic science is one of the exemplary contributions of Indian Tradition and Heritage to the world at large. Centuries ago, the knowledge of yoga which was scattered, was compiled beautifully by Maharishi Patanjali in the form of 196 Yoga Sutras. Since then, yoga has been studied and practised through generations.

Applications of yoga are widespread ranging from physical to spiritual aspects. Various branches of yoga have been developed. The spiritual view of Patanjali Yoga Sutra is well-known, but the clinical aspect of this is the most untouched field.
