Vision Statement
To be a leading school of yoga therapy and classical yoga education in Asia, aligned with global professional standards, producing graduates who serve their communities with integrity, knowledge, and compassion.
(Gross to Subtle)
Our Meditative Yoga practice encompasses a transformative journey that transcends mere physical exercises, leading us to a more profound and subtle realm. It emphasizes the importance of "how" you practice rather than simply "what" you practice.
Our Mission To educate, inspire, and empower students with the authentic teachings of Yoga and Ayurveda — fostering a deep understanding of holistic health and supporting the wellbeing of individuals and communities through evidence-informed, personalised yoga practices.”
School Governance & Academic Structure
Ancient Yoga Academy operates under the leadership of an academic committee responsible for curriculum design, programme quality, faculty standards, and student welfare.
AYA’s academic standards are developed in partnership with S-VYASA (Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana), a globally recognised yoga research university in Bangalore, India.
AYA is associated with S-VYASA (Swami Vivekananda Yoga Research Centre), a renowned Yoga University in India, managing, promoting S-VYASA’s international curriculum and affiliate centres..
