The conference will be held in Memphis, one of the oldest towns in America, famously known as the home of the legendary singer Elvis Presley. Memphis offers a beautiful spring climate, with average daytime temperatures between 68°F and 75°F (20°C to 24°C) — neither too cold nor too hot — making it an ideal setting for this global event. It is also the headquarters of FedEx, representing the city’s international reach and dynamic modern character.

The conference aims to bridge the gap between traditional wisdom and modern medical science through the following key objectives:

• Bring global experts onto a single platform to foster collaboration in Yoga, Ayurveda, Integrative Medicine, diagnostics, and cutting-edge health technologies.
• Release official guidelines for the integration of Yoga, Ayurveda, and modern medical science for researchers, clinicians, and institutions in the USA and worldwide
• Present the latest research on Yoga, Ayurveda, Integrative Medicine, mind–body medicine, biology, diagnostics, rehabilitation, integrative gastroenterology, the gut–brain axis, Psycho–Neuro–Immuno–Endocrinology (PNIE), Women’s Health, and Doctor’s Health programs.
• Develop evidence-based protocols for diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, metabolic conditions, neurological disorders, endocrine issues, and stress-related diseases.
• Teach therapeutic applications of integrated approaches across medical disciplines, showcasing how Yoga and Ayurveda can complement allopathic treatment pathways.
• Conduct panel discussions on the incorporation of Integrative Medicine within mainstream medical practice, hospital systems, and public health frameworks.
• Host interactive “one-to-one practice” sessions demonstrating clinically relevant and practical integration techniques in Yoga therapy, Ayurvedic interventions, and rehabilitation sciences.

• Scientific deliberations and in-depth discussions on Yoga, Ayurveda, and other integrative therapeutic modalities.
• Workshops and teaching sessions tailored for medical professionals, clinicians, and researchers.
• Hands-on practical training sessions in integrative health approaches.
• Panel discussions featuring global experts, researchers, and leading authors in the field.

The AAYM is an organization of physicians and scientists working in the field of clinical research and education in Yoga. It organized its first conference in India at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS-Rishikesh) in March 2019, followed by one of the world’s largest Yoga conference in 2020, held virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The upcoming AAYM 2026 Conference will be the third in this series, bringing together some of the most prominent names in Ayurveda, Yoga, and Integrative Medicine. The event aims to deliberate, teach, and conduct workshops specifically designed for physicians. This conference marks a significant milestone in recognizing Yoga and Ayurveda as integral components of Integrative Medicine — a discipline that continues to expand in evidence, acceptance, and clinical application across the globe.
