Bio:
Born in Tamil Nadu India, Dr. Sundar Balasubramanian studied yoga starting at a young age from his father and uncles. Graduating from Gurukula, he majored in chemistry, and yoga, meditation, prayer and group singing also part of the curriculum. In 1999, Dr. Sundar came to Charleston, SC for post-doctoral research. Except for three years working at Yale, Charleston has been home since. His work with other Medical University of South Carolina scientists includes a Yoga adjunct for various diseases. Based on his interest in Tamil literature and Yoga, Dr. Sundar collects ancient scripts.
Applying the translation of one of Thirumoolar's writings to his yoga breathing practice launched the idea for his groundbreaking study of yoga-stimulated salivary biochemicals and how they affect human health. He conducts NIH-funded research on mind-body exercises to learn any social and therapeutic potential for integrative medicine. He has authored four books, several book chapters, and 40 scientific articles. His website is PranaScience.com. He can be contacted via info@pranascience.com
