Dr. Sundar Balasubramanian is a cell biology researcher and the founder of PranaScience Institute. He conducts research on yogic breath’s effect on human biology, and he is a certified yoga therapist. Through his pioneer research, Dr. Sundar has made significant discoveries about the benefits of Pranayama breathwork. Through PranaYama classes he is sharing his discoveries to help others share in their benefits.
Dr. Sundar grew up in Tamilnadu, India, in a traditional Siddha medicine practicing family. He learned Pranayama, yoga postures, meditation, and Kirtan practices at a very young age. He now combines this traditional wisdom with his scientific research training to make these practices accessible to all.
Dr. Sundar is a member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists and the Integral Yoga Teachers Association; he was also a speaker at TEDx Charleston 2015. Dr. Sundar is passionate about making these teachings available to a global audience.
Supermodel John Pearson and team (journalist Pete Samson, and stylist Alison Edmond) have started a magazine called Mr Feelgood. In its recent edition, it mentioned five people as the World’s Leading Breathwork Experts. Happy to see I am one among them! My life, joy, and goal are to spread the words of Thirumoolar and other Siddhars on breathwork!
Your talk was “inspire”ational! The joy that you manifest in your life, research and teaching is wonderfully obvious. I have many ideas racing through my head about the applications of yogic breathing in cardiovascular disease.
(About the PranaScience book) I’ve enjoyed reading and rereading it. I’ve also suggested your book on the syllabus of my Meditation Utilizing Pranayama Breathing Techniques that I teach at the Adult School of Montclair.
…a pioneer in the area of research combining Pranayama and salivary stimulation, discovered that Yogic breathing promotes salivary secretion; this encompasses factors that are important for our healthy living
Not only are we seeing it in our own bodies, there’s scientific research to back it up! Dr. Sundar Balasubramanian has been conducting studies to document how yogic breathing can affect health conditions, to include Scleroderma. The results are fascinating.
Applying the translation of one of Thirumoolar’s writings to his yoga breathing practice, it launched the idea for his groundbreaking study of yoga stimulated salivary biochemicals and how they affect human health.
Your seminar made such difference in regular clientele.
Having read your book, Pranascience, I am more impressed than ever with your work and studies.
Thank you so much for the fantastic workshop. I enjoyed learning from you. I do want to follow up with your ideas for student nurses.
Participants will meet one on one with the study team to learn about the exercise and the app. All sessions can occur virtually. The aim is to perform 3 10-minute exercise sessions each weekday for 12 weeks. However, a participant can do more or less depending on their comfort level. Participants also will be given information about other participants within their group and will have the option to carry out the exercises with other group members or practice alone. Study particpates must reside in the United States.
