Kaivalyadhama Yoga Institute: Where yoga tradition and science meet

The Scientific Research Department

Previous
Next

With his exceptional training and exposure to yoga under revered gurus, Swami Kuvalayananda sought to revolutionise the global outlook towards this ancient Indian tradition. He laid the spirited foundation for Kaivalyadhama by establishing the Scientific Research Department (SRD) in 1924.

SRD became the first and most pioneering initiative in yoga research at the time of its commencement, to reinforce as a science and make the world aware of its benefits. In 1988, SRD earned the recognition as an Institute of Scientific Research by the Scientific & Industrial Research Organization (SIRO), Ministry of Science & Technology, Government of India.

SRD continues to conduct path-breaking research for yoga investigating the impact of traditional yoga on various biochemical, physiological, and psychological parameters of the body. With a fully-equipped and advanced scientific laboratory, SRD clinically examines perceptible effects of yoga on cancer, chronic diseases, epigenetics, auto immune diseases and psychogenic disorders.

Outreach

SRD’s innovative research-based findings have immensely contributed for spreading the knowledge of yoga as a systematic study amongst scientists, academicians and medical practitioners. Through our discoveries at SRD, we ensure that the advantages of Yoga are made available to all in a cost-efficient manner.

Specialised experiments at the premier department include explorations into yoga for overall health and wellness, recovery from disease, excellence in sports and endurance. SRD also performs cutting-edge fundamental studies into the effect of core yoga practices, such as asanas, kriyas, and pranayama and meditation amongst school children, yoga students, and police officers. The department also makes inquiries into the uses of yoga for recuperating from diseases such as obesity, diabetes, stress, and blindness.

SRD is led by a team of highly qualified and respected faculty. Our scientists and experts are invited to impart this knowledge at various Indian and global platforms. The Department offers M.Phil and Ph.D. degrees in Yoga. SRD has associations with other Indian universities, and collaborates with scientists in Europe and the USA for fundamental and applied research in yoga.

Objectives

  • To investigate various yoga practices based on scientific parameters by using modern sophisticated equipment and techniques employed in Physiology, Bio-chemistry, Psychology, Physical Education, and allied disciplines like Ayurveda.
  • To develop methods for standardizing the technique of various yogic practices on the basis of scientific investigation.
  • To critically review the literature on yoga for understanding Yogic concepts available in related texts that can facilitate scientific investigation on yoga.
  • To collect published scientific work on yoga done in Kaivalyadhama’s departments and elsewhere, and to prepare monograms, abstracts and bibliographies on select Yogic practices.
  • To project and disseminate scientific information on yoga through publication and participation in conferences, and also by organizing seminars and workshops.
  • To implement scientific research findings and suggestions, and to update theoretical and practical training in Yoga, at Kaivalyadhama’s college and our yoga programs.
  • To collaborate and co-ordinate with Kaivalyadhama’s Philosophico-Literary Research Department, Yogic Hospital, other research institutions and agencies for generation and promotion of scientific information on yogic practices.

Dr. Paul holds a PhD in Biological Anthropology from Emory University, where his research is focused on breath-based yoga practices. He developed protocols that were implemented in a registered clinical trial, yielding significant results in reducing stress and anxiety, enhancing interoception, and uniquely demonstrating telomere lengthening in the intervention group (papers in preparation with the Stress and Emotion Center at UCSF). His Studies also included full cultural analysis of 60 yogic-based texts from the past 2500 years, noting origins of all known practices and their description.

He pursued post-doctoral research at the Anschutz Medical Campus, University of Colorado, with two ongoing studies—one on obesity and the other on lung function—both incorporating the breath-based protocols developed during his doctoral work. These studies also involved research collaborations in Thailand.

With over 30 years of dedicated yoga, breath, and meditation practice, Dr. Paul has trained in the traditional one-to-one (guru-shishya) for the past 25 years, specializing in pranayama. In recognition of his depth of knowledge and practice, he was honored in 2022 with the title "Master Yogi: Pranacharya (Breath Expert)" by his long-time teacher, Sri Dr. O.P. Tiwari, a lineage holder in classical yoga with pranayama.

Dr. Paul is also the Founder and CEO of Samahita Retreat, a pioneering wellness retreat center in Thailand established in 2003. Located on the beach and housing 80 rooms, Samahita offers comprehensive programs integrating yoga, breathwork, meditation, core training, and cycling.
