In the two-month Yogic Studies, classroom teaching and full immersion in all ashram life activities are the two pillars of experience, complemented by self-study. Students are encouraged to apply the teaching throughout the day and learn to live a yogic lifestyle moment to moment. The certificate issued is of attendance and participation, and not a teacher certificate. These two months offer a glimpse of how to live with health, happiness and harmony in all circumstance, and make yoga part of one’s everyday life.
All candidates must submit a complete Application package, and will then be issued with a provisional acceptance or a request for further supporting information.
Admission will be approved following a selection process, which includes a written English or Hindi language test and a personal interview. These will be conducted before the commencement date of the course. Selected candidates will then be required to participate in a 3-day orientation program, at which time candidates will be required to provide their original ID proof and medical certificate. Following this, final admission formalities will take place.
All candidates must be physically and mentally fit in order to participate fully in the activities of the ashram lifestyle and all classes and sessions. The first class begins at 5.00 am and the daily activities continue through to 7.30 pm.
Admission will be approved following a selection process which includes a written English or Hindi language test and an interview.
If it is found during orientation that your English or Hindi language skills, including comprehension and expression, lack the required proficiency, Bihar Yoga Bharati reserves the right to revoke your selection for admission. To avoid disappointment, please consider carefully whether your language skills are sufficient for a course at this level.
Foreign nationals are required to arrive with an appropriate Tourist visa valid for the full duration of the course, without which they will not be admitted. Following 2nd June 2016, short term yoga programs are a permitted activity under a Tourist visa. Foreign nationals with visas requiring registration will not be admitted.
Students are expected to remain on campus for the full period of the course and there is no opportunity for personal travel during this time. Compliance with local visa/travel regulations is the responsibility of each student. Foreign nationals must depart the campus at least 2 days before the maximum stay in India permitted by their Tourist visa.
