Preamble

Over the past decades, the higher education system of our country has undergone substantial structural and functional changes resulting in both quantitative and qualitative development of the beneficiaries. Sustained initiatives are required to reform the present higher education system for improving and upgrading the academic resources and learning environments by raising the quality of teaching and standards of achievements in learning outcomes across all postgraduate programs and professional streams of higher education. One of the significant reforms in the postgraduate education is to introduce the Learning Outcomes-based Curriculum Framework (LOCF) which makes it student-centric, interactive and outcome-oriented with well- defined aims, objectives and goals to achieve.

The word "Yoga" is derived from the Sanskrit root ‘yuj’ meaning "to join", "to yoke" or "to unite". Therefore, the 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. 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 experience the essential nature of our own existence.

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 students are taught the concepts of Yoga for the treatment and prevention of various psychosomatic and life style related ailments. This course has the vision of producing yoga professional so that they could teach yoga with the ability to select specific practice modules to build up a complete personality with physical health, mental wellbeing and the spiritual development.
