The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has launched a series of online credit courses in Yoga, with the aim of professionalizing this sector. The council has partnered with Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana (S-VYASA) University in Bangalore to introduce four short-term courses on the Study Webs of Active-Learning for Young Aspiring Minds (SWAYAM) platform.

The new courses are available for graduates, diploma holders, and yoga enthusiasts who are interested in deepening their knowledge and skills in this ancient practice. The courses are designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of Yoga, covering its philosophical, theoretical, and practical aspects. Participants can learn about the history of Yoga, its various styles and techniques, as well as its potential benefits for physical and mental health.

By offering these courses online, AICTE hopes to make quality Yoga education accessible to a wider audience and promote the professionalization of this field. The SWAYAM platform provides a flexible and convenient way to learn, with participants being able to access the courses at any time and from any location. In addition, the courses are accredited by AICTE, ensuring that they meet high standards of quality and relevance.

The launch of these online credit courses on Yoga is a significant step towards bringing more professionalism to the Yoga industry in India. With its long history and rich tradition, Yoga has gained popularity worldwide in recent years, and demand for qualified Yoga instructors and therapists is on the rise. The AICTE-SVYASA partnership aims to meet this demand by equipping learners with the skills and knowledge they need to pursue a career in this field or to deepen their personal practice.
