When she can see how practices like yoga affect her physiology and biology—not just how they make her feel—she’s more likely to commit to that twice-weekly class.
And when providers are given the opportunity to easily focus on evidence in context, they’re more likely to actively recommend & meaningfully integrate yoga & other interventions.
Evidence as Catalyst
Inspiring Commitment in Clients & Providers
How much have you actually engaged with the published research on yoga and other non-pharmaceutical interventions?
If you’ve been reading my newsletters for a while, you know my work has been shaped by decades of deep dives into research and other evidence-based sources.
I want you to benefit from my years of immersion with as little time and effort as possible, while still experiencing the same sense of inspired activation.
By activation, I mean confidently integrating verifiable evidence into your work—evidence with the power to move people toward more consistent, positive actions in their lives and professions.
When a cancer or osteoporosis patient can see how practices like yoga affect her physiology and biology—not just how they make her feel—she’s more likely to commit to that twice-weekly class.
And when providers are given the opportunity to easily focus on evidence in context, they’re more likely to actively recommend and meaningfully integrate yoga and other interventions into their work with clients.
Now More Visually Engaging & Snappy
Years of dedicated work — alongside my colleague Jane and paid research interns — have gone into curating and organizing rigorous, verifiable research on the impacts of yoga and meditation. Members can access the material in the Research Hub.
You might assume this kind of research would already be easy to find, share, and use. I remember thinking it must be. But each time I followed promising links, I came up empty-handed — unable to find clear and contextualized research, organized as needed and with lecture-ready resources that educators and providers actually need. So I made it a priority to curate, organize, contextualize, summarize, and carefully link the research. We’re now up to 262 research studies on the impact of yoga, instantly accessible, verifiable, and shareable.
More recently, while developing the Integrated Yoga training materials, I realized that this life-changing knowledge is far more likely to be shared when it’s not only organized and verifiable, but also visually engaging and punchy. With AI tools supporting our human-led discernment, we’ve been hard at work — and now you have instant access to slide presentations with clear visuals and concise summaries like this.

This really resonated, Shelly. I love how clearly you connect evidence to behavior change, especially the point about people committing when they understand what’s happening in their physiology, not just how something feels. Making research visual and contextual feels like the missing link between knowing and actually doing. You’re lowering the friction for both clients and providers in a very real way.
