Summary:
India's first yoga university, Lakulish Yoga University, set up in 2013, has witnessed a three-fold increase in number of admissions this year. As against 151 students in 2013, a total of 450 students, across all age groups have registered this year. However, the yoga university officials credit the increase in numbers to the introduction of Yoga Teachers Training Center that runs short term programmes as against regular programmes that have witnessed a drop. The yoga teachers training certificate course began with 39 participants and this year, nearly 300 have been registered. However, in terms of discipline, more number of students registered in M.Phil are for Karma Gyan Yoga..
