Certification
Yoga Philosophy is unusual as it is instruction on yoga and philosophy by a yogi who is a professional philosopher, author of over 50 peer reviewed publications, who specializes in translation, South Asian philosophy, and Yoga. Now students of Yoga Philosophy can earn two levels of certification, either for their own edification, or to set themselves apart as qualified to teach yoga philosophy (including yoga ethics) Yoga Philosophy Certification shows to others that your guidance and teaching on Yoga Philosophy is also informed by such research and expertise. Students who successfully complete certification will also gain Dr. Shyam Ranganathan as a reference for Yoga Philosophy job applications. Certification is mainly available to students who: (a) are practicing yoga themselves (broadly conceived, including āsana practice, or meditation) OR (b) have degrees in philosophy or religious studies. Certification adds to significant work that students have been doing already. To earn your Level 1, Yoga Philosophy certification, purchase this qualifying course (through which you will be tested) and complete the four required course that contribute to the 100 hours of training in the Level 1 certification program. Level 2 100 hour certification will follow the same template and will be open to students who successfully complete Level 1 Certification.
