Lecture delivered 12th June 2016, Chandigarh Yoga Festival, organized by Union Territory UT administration.

Thanks to the organizers of this conference in ‘the city beautiful.’ It is great to be back nearly after 2 decades to the place where i was introduced to ‘patient centred learning’ and i cannot thank this place enough for how it nurtured my subsequent growth in this direction at a time when i needed it the most. Most of this talk is going to be a different spin on ‘yoga’ where i see it as a tool to build individual integrity toward system integration. I teach in a medical school where i fancy our learners are not just medical-students but patient-citizens, many of who do not know how to read and write and we are trying to create this grass-roots movement where all of us patients, health professionals, citizen scientists learn together by gathering around each individual patient (who can serve as an innovation incubator) and this learning is primarily geared to first help the patient and second help science in its progress toward finding optimal healthcare solutions.
