The journal is an inclusive journal community working together to advance science for the benefit of society, now and in the future. It will cover primary research from any discipline within life events, science and medicine. As compared to traditional peer-reviewed scientific publishing, Insight-Life Events will not use the perceived importance of a paper as a criterion for acceptance or rejection. It will verify whether experiments and data analysis were conducted rigorously, and will leave it to the scientific community to ascertain importance, post publication, through debate and comment. Being an online-only publication will allow Insight-Life Events to publish more papers than a print journal. In an effort to facilitate publication of research on topics outside, or between, traditional science categories, it will not restrict itself to a specific scientific area.</td><td width="150px"><p><img style="margin-left: 25px; clear: both;" src="/public/journals/118/journalThumbnail_en_US.jpg" alt="" width="150" align="right" /></p></td></tr></tbody></table> PiscoMed Publishing Pte Ltd en-US Insight - Life Events <p>Authors contributing to the journal agree to publish their articles under the <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0">Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 4.0 International License</a>, allowing third parties to share their work (copy, distribute, transmit) and to adapt it, under the condition that the authors are given credit, that the work is not used for commercial purposes, and that in the event of reuse or distribution, the terms of this license are made clear.</p><p><img src="/public/site/by-nc.png" alt="" height="30px" /></p> https://insight.piscomed.com/index.php/ILE/article/view/202 <p>Background: Problems related to health and personality continues to plague many university campuses.

The mental and emotional well being of an EHE student is directly connected to their physical health, and yoga provides different ways to support the subtle aspects of the mind, ego, and intellect. Yoga is a mind and body practice that teaches the methods of coping with stress, finding presence, and becoming self-aware.
