About Yoga Programmes

Yoga is a traditional Indian practice, and also it has a system of philosophy (codified by Patanjali and others), that has evolved to a great extent over the centuries. Yoga is not simply a form of physical exercise; it means the union of individual to the higher consciousness through practice of asana, pranayama, bandha, mudra and meditation.

  1. Ph.D. in Yoga
  2. MSc in Yoga
  3. Post-Graduate Diploma in Yoga
  4. Certificate Course in Yoga and Naturopathy
  5. Certificate Course in Yoga
