In this workshop we will explore the scientific basis of yoga therapy, and experience various practices including asana, pranayama, meditation, and chanting. We will cover in some detail a yogic approach to such conditions as heart disease, insomnia, depression, infertility, and weight loss. The workshop will continue themes explored in last year's Yoga as Medicine workshop, but you need not have attended Part 1 to benefit.

Timothy McCall, M.D., trained in primary care internal medicine and practiced for years in the Boston area before devoting himself full time to the investigation of therapeutic yoga in 2000. He has traveled extensively in India and the U.S. observing, studying with, and interviewing the world's leading yoga teachers and therapists. He is Yoga Journal's medical editor, and author of Yoga as Medicine: The Yogic Prescription for Health and Healing (Bantam).
