News & Articles From The Yoga & Meditation World

Our integrative wellbeing articles are written with the inquisitive mind in mind: as humans in the 21st century we cannot escape the innately drawn tendency to enquire and to understand beyond the surface. This is why it is the BioMedical Institute of Yoga and Meditation’s aim to always to provide you with the most current and interesting information pertaining to our industry of wellbeing.

Celia Roberts, founder of BIYOME, truly believes in assisting you to connect tradition and contemporary advance, to create holistic and experiential understanding of what yoga truly is and always has been. As a team, BIYOME hopes to open opportunities for you to unite and compassionately communicate with those in other areas of mainstream health and lifestyle medicine.

We look forward to sharing with you evidence-based articles, interviews, stories, as well as yoga teacher training and meditation teacher training tips and teacher insight. Join us as we explore yoga and meditation from a biomedical background with an emphasis on tradition, philosophy, and most of all as we grow in a compassionate vision of humanity.
