The Neuroscientist Who Proved Yoga Isn’t Woo-Woo

from MedStory Podcast · host MedStory Studio

For decades, yoga was dismissed by much of Western medicine as “woo-woo.” But Dr. Jonathan Rosenthal, a neurologist and lifelong practitioner, set out to change that. What started as a teenager’s recovery from a running injury turned into a mission to bridge neuroscience and ancient practice.In this episode, Dr. Rosenthal shares how brain scans, clinical studies, and his annual Neuroscience and Yoga Conference are proving what yogis have known for centuries, that stillness, breath, and movement can literally reshape the brain. His story is a reminder that sometimes, science doesn’t disprove tradition, it finally catches up to it.🎙️ Want to be a guest on the podcast?
