Yoga and Science

Hi, I’m Cora.
I’m a scientist with over a decade of experience in biological research and an enthusiastic science communicator. At the same time, I’m a passionate yoga practitioner and soon- to be certified yoga teacher.

With this blog, I combine my love for science, yoga, and communication to create a space where these worlds come together.
I believe that science and yoga can coexist beautifully, and I strive to give space to both in my life. My journey from the lab to the mat has taught me the value of embracing both evidence-based knowledge and the unexplainable magic of personal experience.

I’ll break down scientific studies on yoga into engaging, digestible pieces of content. From health benefits to mental well-being, I aim to make research accessible without oversimplifying it.

Whether you’re a yoga teacher, a student, or someone curious about yoga’s benefits, I hope you’ll find practical ways to integrate this knowledge into your practice or teaching.

My vision is to create a space where science and yoga come together. Through this blog, I aim to:

  • Make scientific knowledge about yoga accessible and engaging.
  • Inspire more people to embrace yoga as part of their lives.
  • Foster a deeper understanding of the physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of yoga.
  • Show that rational thinking and spirituality are not opposites but complementary paths.

Whether you’re a scientist curious about yoga, a yoga teacher seeking evidence-based insights, or someone looking for inspiration to start your journey, I invite you to join me on this adventure.
Together, let’s explore the beautiful intersection of science and yoga—and discover what lies beyond the mat.
