Rajan Narayanan, PhD, is a former C-IAYT, Chair of Board and Executive Director of Life in Yoga Institute (lifeinyoga.org), Secretary of the Council for Yoga Accreditation International (CYAI). Dr. Rajan Narayanan serves multiple roles in the service of yoga to the world, both roles involving the presentation of yoga as a spiritual discipline coming from the Vedic system, the spirituality that is core to all religions of the world.
On one hand, he is a researcher who created a system called Measured Yoga Therapy TM (MYT) that integrates scientific measurement systems with traditional medicine systems which come from yogic wisdom. In this process he demonstrated the ability to cure incurable diseases, not as a random event, but as a predicted event with objective measurement of yogic applications, especially mantra vibrations.
The method is published and indexed in the National Library of Medicine and can be accessed at Bioenergy and its Implication for Yoga Therapy. While these measurement techniques technically work in the zone of the subtle or vibration body that is spoken of in yoga, more recently he has been working on research with scalar waves to access the causal body or the spirit, which is normally in the intuitive zone of yogis. His enhanced healing abilities with MYT has resulted in a volunteer network of over 50 people around the United States and other parts of the world who are trained, being trained, and are treating health issues.
On the other hand, in his CYAI role, he has tried to bring yoga standards in certification that reflect the
spiritual backbone of yoga. A recently published textbook called Yoga Concepts for Global Application published by CYAI for instructors and a certification exam for instructors is the movement in this direction. Dr. Rajan Narayanan is working towards creating teacher level and therapist level textbooks as well. His approach is fully anchored in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
