SAAC meets to finalise IYA Courses 

The Working Group of the Standing Academics and Accreditation Committee met for a two day workshop from 13-14 June, 2019 at Sri Sri School of Yoga, Art of Living, Bengaluru. During the meeting the mini­mum standards for three courses were developed.

The workshop was also convened to discuss about increasing the memberships through certification of stu­dents, development of courses / programs in yoga and yoga therapy, development of minimum standards for yoga and yoga therapy courses, development of a process to Accredit institutions / organisations for conduct of IYA yoga courses and programs and to reactivate the Academic and Accreditation Committee.

During the workshop it was decided that IYA Professional Certification Board (PrCB) will be the accrediting authority for conducting IYA Courses and would also conduct random site inspections on said organisations.

Dr Ganesh Rao was nominated to be the Chief Consultant for the development of yoga and yoga therapy courses and minimum standards for such courses. By the end of the two days the courses that were given a shape were:

a. Foundation Course in Yoga
b. Certificate Course in Yoga
c. Advance Certificate Course in Yoga

It was also decided that the IYA certificate would be awarded through Institutions and not to the candidates directly. The IYA certificate would be accepted throughout the world.
