Longitudinal Analysis of User Engagement and Cognitive Retention in Digital Educational Frameworks (2016-2025)

This dataset presents longitudinal user telemetry from a purely theoretical digital intervention focused on the ethical foundations of Yoga (Yamas and Niyamas), hosted on an open-access video platform (YouTube).The data spans a 9-year observation period (Jul 2016 – Dec 2025).Unlike the practical intervention dataset (Rollán, 2026a-c), this course contains no physical component, serving as a case study for "Cognitive Adherence" to the philosophical curriculum of Yoga.The intervention follows the structure of the author's monograph "Yamas y Niyamas: Los peldaños olvidados del Yoga" (Rollán, 2025), covering the 5 moral restraints (Yamas) and 5 observances (Niyamas).Metrics include cognitive retention rates, topic-specific drop-off points, and session depth, offering a rare comparative baseline between physical (asana) and intellectual (svadhyaya) engagement in digital wellness consumers.
