VaYU provided an incredible learning experience. The faculty, administration, and curriculum were outstanding, 10/10 in every aspect. The course significantly improved my medical condition and deepened my understanding of yoga. I remain closely connected with fellow alumni and highly recommend VaYU for its exceptional education and support.

Jagjit Singh, Alumni

I completed my MSY at VaYU (2021–2022), gaining deep insights into yoga’s scientific benefits. This enriched my teaching, allowing me to explain the “why” behind practices. I now conduct five daily classes and a Yoga Alliance 200-hour training, empowered by VaYU’s strong foundation in yoga education.

Vidya Nahar, PhD Student

VaYU provided an enriching and transformative learning experience, especially in yoga research. The faculty was highly knowledgeable, and the LMS was well-structured. While study materials are nicely aligned with US students, the program fostered deep connections through an active alumni network. Overall, an insightful and rewarding journey.
