Information for Speakers
Terms of participation as a contributor at lectures, seminars or workshops
Any yoga student and/or teacher can contribute to the Congress with lectures, seminars or workshops. The Programme Committee will select entries for the programme of the Congress. Go directly to the form here.
The programme is based on sections of 30 minutes, consisting of a 25 minute presentation and 5 minute question and answer session. Only for workshops it is possible to apply for two such sessions in a row.
The subject of the V. International Congress of Yoga and Alternative Therapies 2016 is “Yoga – Divine Solutions for Modern Life”.
You can apply to hold a lecture, seminar or workshop on topics related to the extraordinary phenomena that occur on the spiritual path through a persevering practice of yoga techniques from all forms of traditional yoga, including Tantra Yoga, Karma Yoga, Raja Yoga and Laya Yoga (deep meditation), Siddha Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Jnana Yoga etc. Also presentations that highlight results of scientific studies and measurements that prove the existence and characteristics of highest spiritual states. The main sections of the Congress will consist of presentations that highlight the connection between science and spirituality, alternative methods for personal development, or the obvious results of persevering spiritual practice in everyday life.
The expected audience of the Congress will mainly consist of yoga students and teachers of ATMAN and of other yoga schools from all over the world. As the Congress is an open event, some members of the audience may not be directly in the field of yoga, but will be interested in subjects such as peak spiritual experiences, or the merging of spirituality and science. Each of the last three events has seen the number of participants well exceeding 1,000.
Anyone interested in presenting a lecture, seminar or workshop should submit their completed application form as soon as possible.
