M.A. in Yoga Science
Preamble
The tradition of Yoga has always been passed on individually from teacher to student through oral
teaching and practical demonstration. The formal techniques that are now known as Yoga are,
therefore, based on the collective experiences of many individuals over many thousands of years.
The particular manner in which the techniques are taught and practiced today depends on the
approach passed down in the line of teachers supporting the individual practitioner. Yoga is
essentially a spiritual discipline based on an extremely subtle science, which focuses on establishing
harmony between mind, body; thought and action; restraint and fulfillment; harmony between man
and nature and a holistic approach to health and wellbeing. Yoga is not about exercise but to discover
the sense of oneness with ourselves, the world and Nature. It is an art and science for healthy living.
The word “Yoga” is derived from the Sanskrit root ‘yuj’ meaning “to join”, “to yoke” or “to unite”.
Thereforethe aim of yoga is to unite the individual consciousness with the supreme consciousness.
Yoga is a science and art of living; also it is a body of techniques that lead us to consciously connect
with ourselves and with life, the experience of yoga. As yoga is an art and science, there is no dogma
or belief system attached to it. Yoga tells us to do a certain practice and feel their effect following
the practice, e.g. if we breath slowly in a relaxed manner we will slow our heart rate; if we focus the
mind we will develop mental peace and deep insight.
In addition to this, Yoga is becoming popular day by day and has become a wave which is sweeping
across the globe. In this course we introduce yoga as a science of Holistic living and not merely as
yoga postures. During the course, the student is taught the fundamental & advanced concepts of
Yogaas well as the techniques for the treatment and prevention of various psychosomatic and life
style related ailments.
