NeuroYogaNYC Announces 6th Annual Neuroscience and Yoga Conference March 19-22; NYC Add-On

NeuroYogaNYC announced in a press release distributed via GlobeNewswire on Feb. 22, 2026, 10:00 ET that it will hold its sixth annual Neuroscience and Yoga Conference online March 19–22, 2026, and offer an optional half-day in-person add-on in New York City on March 22. The press release says the event “will gather tens of thousands of learners from around the globe,” framing the conference as an evidence-based response to misinformation about yoga and the brain.

The organization’s program page specifies the in-person component as Sunday, March 22, 2026, from 8:15 AM – 1:00 PM EST, and notes that in-person details “will be available after you register.” Registration language across NeuroYogaNYC social posts and the website emphasizes a free entry point, “sign up here (Free)”, with “options to upgrade” for added access and features.

Program copy on the NeuroYogaNYC site lays out three research-facing tracks: “Yoga + Migraine and Headache, frequency, intensity, duration, disability, and autonomic function”; “Yoga + Schools and Neurodiversity, behavior, mental health, academic performance, autism, and ADHD”; and “Yoga + Brain Longevity®, memory, attention, and aging.” The site promises “presentations from leading researchers,” “yoga workshops with top teachers,” experiments, Q&A sessions, Project Clinics and a Community Showcase, and says presentations are “available for 24 hours, or indefinitely with upgraded passes.”

Jonathan Rosenthal, MD, who is listed on the NeuroYogaNYC site as the conference host, is described as “a neurologist in New York and a yoga student of Sri Dharma Mittra.” Rosenthal’s profile includes first-person remarks: “Since 2014, I’ve been sharing the intersection of neuroscience and yoga. I’m excited to host you for the 6th annual Neuroscience and Yoga Conference.” His stated mission appears on the site: “My mission is to bridge the worlds of yoga and neuroscience by connecting scientists and yogis, replicating hands-on neuroscience experiments, and sharing reliable information. I want to help yoga students explore the self through a scientific lens, free from the misinformation that abounds online.”

NeuroYogaNYC’s promotional materials emphasize accessibility: “Join us online - accessible regardless of your time zone or schedule,” and the organization notes in program copy that “No pre‑requisites or scientific background is required to attend.” The site also lists international participation, saying experts will come from Ireland, Germany, India, China, and the USA, though full speaker names and session-level rosters have not been published in the materials provided.

Social snippets for the conference include a NeuroYogaNYC YouTube post that describes the event and, in that platform’s copy, calls it “the 6th annual conference and our 12th annual event.” The same YouTube snippet shows limited early engagement metrics in the excerpt provided, “2Likes” and “205Views” with a Feb 8, 2026 metadata tag, while the NeuroYogaNYC site carries a testimonial claim that “100% of attendees would recommend our events to their friends.”

NeuroYogaNYC frames the March conference as part of its ongoing effort to “LEARN THE ACTUAL SCIENCE BEHIND THE BENEFITS OF YOGA” and to “elevate your yoga practice, teaching, and advocacy.” The organization’s materials say the conference will provide the tools and research summaries needed for teachers, clinicians, and students to apply neuroscience-informed approaches to migraine, neurodiversity in schools, and brain longevity.
