Yoga Programs

Yoga, an exercise originated in India, is designed to relate and align the physical, emotional and spiritual ears. Apart from its religious importance, Yoga has received international acclaim in its medical and health aspects – namely, in physical training, mental and emotional health improvement. Modern Yoga is no longer just a concept, but a growing discipline as a profession with teaching, therapy, research and wellness streams.

Yoga learning in India is not only a physical workout, but there is a proportional study of its practice, i.e., asanas, pranayama, mudras, meditation, anatomy, philosophy, and Ayurveda. It is available at the undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma and certification levels in response to the increasing market demand for Yoga as a way of life and career.
