Yoga

Just consider these instances for gauging the popularity and scope of yoga: a group of U.S. war veterans took to yoga classes to help them control their post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD) symptoms. Or, the Indian Defence Ministry telling the Delhi High Court that it would include yoga and other training as part of stress management for armed personnel to prevent them from committing suicide due to work-related stress. Or, big companies organising yoga classes for its e mployees to cool off and ‘de-stress’ themselves.
In India there are only a few universities and colleges which offer yoga and yoga therapy courses.
Institutes
The Central Council for Research in Yoga and Naturopathy under the Department of Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on its website identifies only 10 such colleges in the country — three in Karnataka, four in Tamil Nadu, one each in Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat and Chattisgarh.
There are about 30 universities offering certificates, diploma and degree courses in yoga. Some universities even offer courses ranging from certificate to Ph.D level.
