Yoga has become a keyword for physical and mental health in this modern era. While the entire world is appreciating the significance of Yoga, it is often equated only with the practices of Asanas and Pranayama. While these are vital aspects of Yoga, it is important to know that Yoga is a profound system of philosophy, in which these aspects of physical and mental well-being are grounded. This ancient legacy has much more to offer to the aspirant individually, and to the entire society collectively.

 

From 2022-23, we are offering a revised programme of BA Yogashastra, wherein the third year will incorporate rigorous teacher-training courses and courses in Yoga Therapy in Semesters V and VI.

 

In addition to the traditional three-year programme, from 2022-23 we are also offering a four-year, Honours programme in B.A. Yogashastra, as per NEP 2020. The four-year programme will include a year of research which will be guided by our faculty. Upon successful completion of the four-year Honours programme, the students will be eligible for applying directly for a Ph.D.
