Course in Yogic Studies - Four Months
The four-month course in Yogic Studies is conducted twice a year, once
in English and once in Hindi. BYB seeks to admit a diversity of students
with a broad range of interests and backgrounds.
 Combining
academic studies with the gurukul lifestyle and discipline can be challenging
and all aspirants must be prepared for this approach to yogic studies.
The gurukul disciplines are designed to create an atmosphere in which
the yogic life and spirit can be experienced at a subtle level. Alongside
yogic education, the life and spirit of seva (selfless service), samarpan
(dedication) and karuna (compassion) will be imbibed by the students (shataks).
Completion of the course does not entitle one to teach yoga. It provides
a foundation for further study and learning, and develops the inspiration
to pursue and deepen ones own practice.
Course overview
A residential course to provide basic training in the practical and theoretical
aspects of yoga and ashram life based on the ancient gurukul system.
Course completion
A Certificate in Yogic Studies is awarded to those
who demonstrate the required competencies in the course assessment.
 What
is seva yoga?
Seva is serving others and helping others with compassion, serving not
for personal gratification but to uplift others. Seva is an offering.
When an action contains your best thoughts and feelings, your love and
affection, sympathy and compassion, and when it uplifts others, that is
seva. Seva is serving others with compassion and with the best you can
give.
Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati
