About the Conference

Tamil Yoga Community Centre (TYCC) — a registered non-profit organisation under Canadian law — proudly presents the inaugural International Siddha Wellness & Varma Science Conference 2026 — a landmark gathering of scholars, practitioners, researchers, therapists, and wellness professionals from across the globe.

This three-day conference serves as a platform for rigorous academic inquiry and practical exchange in the living traditions of Siddha medicine, Varma therapy, Tamil yoga, and holistic healing sciences. It bridges the ancient and the contemporary — inviting evidence-based research, clinical case studies, and philosophical discourse that honour the depth of Tamil healing wisdom.

The event will be conducted in Hybrid Mode, enabling participation both on-campus at our Traditional Healing Campus and online for international delegates worldwide.
