General information
After more than two decades dedicated to teaching yoga and guiding thousands of individuals toward better physical, mental, and emotional health, and with over 10 years of training hundreds of teachers in our unique pedagogy across various countries, we have decided to take a step further.
We will embark on an ambitious, yet essential, research study to assess and validate, using scientific methodology, the impact of a specific yoga protocol on the mental health of individuals suffering from chronic stress and anxiety.
Imagine a world where each person, armed with solid knowledge on how to harness the power of yoga to cultivate resilience, can face life's challenges with balance.
This study not only seeks to unveil the intrinsic connection between yoga and stress management but also aspires to transform our society into a more resilient and harmonious place.
With every contribution, you are laying the groundwork to revolutionize how we deal with stress and anxiety, paving the way for a stronger, more resilient, and peaceful community.
PROJECT PHASES: This ambitious scientific research project will unfold in three strategic phases:
Phase 1: Design: In this initial stage, our focus will be on creating a comprehensive and professional design for the study. This process will include the complete preparation of all elements necessary to obtain ethical committee approval. Additionally, training will be conducted for collaborators participating in the intervention.
NOTE: The minimum crowdfunding goal is aimed at financing Phase 1.
Phase 2: Intervention: Lasting for 4 months, this phase will mark the meticulous application of the designed protocol. During this period, we will test the impact of our interventions with the goal of collecting valuable data contributing to the knowledge base on mental health and stress management.
NOTE: The optimal crowdfunding goal is aimed at financing Phase 2.
Phase 3: Data Analysis and Scientific Publication: In the final phase, we will dedicate ourselves to the thorough analysis of the collected data. This process will be supported by professionals experienced in data analysis and scientific publication. We will prepare the publication of the study results, sharing significant findings that will benefit both the scientific community and the general public.
Your support is crucial to making this project a reality that will benefit many. Join us to be part of this transformation and witness the lasting impact we can achieve together!
Main features and goals of the crowdfunding campaign
Central Objective of the Study
The primary objective of this study is to analyze whether an adjunct intervention with a specific Therapeutic Yoga Protocol, designed by the Nexoyoga Pedagogy, improves the outcome of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in adults with anxiety disorders. This intervention will be conducted in collaboration with the Canarian Health Service.
We aim to verify if this specific yoga program reduces the self-perceived stress level and symptoms of anxiety in a group of patients with this disorder.
The effects of the yoga program on interoceptive body awareness, self-regulation, deidentification or decentering, and resilience will also be analyzed as mediating variables in the potential reduction of the self-perceived stress level and anxiety symptoms.
Finally, we will examine the effects of the yoga program on eudaimonic well-being.
Secondary Objectives of the Study
The second objective of this study is to explore the relationship between the intervention's effect on the stress level and anxiety symptoms and the potential changes in the expression of gunas.
The third objective of this work is to explore the applicability of this specific yoga program as an adjunct therapy to psychotherapeutic intervention for patients diagnosed with anxiety disorders.
Our intention is to provide scientific evidence on the effect of this specific yoga program on patients diagnosed with anxiety disorders with the aim of creating and training a network of psychologists and working interdisciplinary with Yoga teachers to incorporate this yoga program into their psychotherapeutic work.

Why this is important
Although the results of this scientific research project will have a positive impact on society as a whole and globally, we believe it is of particular interest to the following groups due to the high value it will directly bring to them:
Mental Health Professionals: Psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals will gain a new perspective on how to use Yoga as an optimal mind-body therapy to complement their therapeutic interventions, accelerating the recovery and resilience process of their patients in stress and anxiety management, enriching their professional practices.
Yoga Teachers: This study will provide yoga teaching professionals with an evidence-based approach that will allow them to design and implement specific practices to help their students in stress and anxiety self-management, thus improving the quality of their teachings and professional management. We consider the yoga teacher a key player in positively impacting the mental health of society.
🔥 IMPORTANT: If you are a Yoga Professional or a Mental Health Therapist and want to support this project, we recommend the SPECIAL Reward for Wellness Professionals, as it provides access to the theoretical foundations on which this study is based.
Companies and Human Resources: Companies interested in the well-being of their employees can benefit from the implementation of these practices to reduce the unwanted effects of work-related stress, increasing productivity, resilience, and drastically improving the organizational climate.
Researchers and Academics: The academic community can find in this study a valuable contribution to the scientific understanding of the benefits of yoga in stress and anxiety management.
Individuals experiencing Stress and Anxiety: Obviously, all those individuals experiencing significant levels of stress and anxiety, and wanting to learn self-management, can directly and indirectly benefit from this study and its subsequent applications. We firmly believe that this study will become a powerful tool in the hands of people seeking to improve their physical and mental health with simple, optimal, and safe yoga practices. They will have a tool to cultivate resilience.
General Public: The knowledge generated by this study can reach the general public, increasing awareness about treatment options for stress and anxiety and promoting a more holistic approach to mental health.
