“NEW SCIENCE REVEALS THAT YOGA DOESN’T JUST LENGTHEN YOUR HAMSTRINGS IT ALSO CHANGES YOUR BRAIN AND IMPACTS GENE EXPRESSION.”
Experience the powerful merging of modern science and ancient yoga at Blissology Yoga Founder Eoin Finn’s “Yoga and Mind-Body Medicine” Course in Kelowna, BC’s Lotusland: June 21 - 24, 2023.

One in five Canadians practice yoga; over 9% have used it as a form of therapy or exercise; and universities from Harvard to UBC tell us that Yoga has benefits that range from minimizing back pain to reducing inflammation markers in the body, and positively impacting our stress response. Yet while most yoga teachers and practitioners agree that yoga and meditation are beneficial, they’re not exactly sure how and why.

On June 21st, Canadian Yoga teacher Eoin Finn will share his 3 decades of yoga and meditation expertise, study of biomechanics, physiology and body-mind psychotherapy along with his colleague Dr. Lawrence Cheng’s cutting-edge scientific insights on how yoga practices help us to create beneficial mind-body awareness, how they “change” our brains and alter gene expression so that we can live, thrive and age better.

Says Finn, “This course is a must for anyone who wants to gain the real healing benefits of yoga and it is my mission to bring this to as many people as possible. We need this especially in today’s stress filled world.”

Concurs Dr. Cheng, “This work features new, emerging studies that are changing the way we view yoga. As a long time yoga practitioner and doctor who sees the impact of stress on my patients daily, I am eager to share this information.”

The program runs for 5 days at Bliss Yoga Lounge, Kelowna and features lectures by Dr. Cheng, daily practices with Finn and an innovative curriculum designed to teach yoga for modern health, longevity and bliss. The course is open to all: from new yogis to health care practitioners and yoga teachers; and for the first time ever is being offered in Kelowna.

Eoin Finn, BA, E-RYT 500 Hrs.
The Canadian native is a globally renowned yogi, surfer, and Blissologist who has been carving his original tracks through the metaphysical worlds of yoga, philosophy, and movement since 1989. He recently completed his certification in Physiology at Harvard. Lauded by Yoga Journal as the “Thoreau of Yoga” for his eco-activism and dedication to connecting yogis to the spirituality of nature; and by Oprah as “one to watch,” Finn’s Blissology Yoga style centers on the simple idea of sharing happiness. While rooted in the therapeutic and transformative physiology of yoga, Finn’s down-to-earth, modern insights on spirituality refresh like cool water. He firmly believes that to find bliss, you must “seek quiet solitude in nature.”
