Council for Yoga Accreditation International (CYAI) is a Global Forum that recognizes broad applications of yoga philosophy and approaches in many fields and is modeled as a knowledge integrator for global advancement.

Since time immemorial knowledge of physical and emotional wellness has been a subject of human quest and exploration.

With spiritual discovery at its core, various ancient civilizations, be it Greek, Chinese or that of Indus Valley, amongst others, contributed their wisdom to this knowledgebase that manifests itself in various forms. Yoga is one such ancient repository of wisdom and knowledge that crystallized in ancient India, and gave birth to the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. This represents the most comprehensive presentation of spiritual existence and the way to realize it.

Yoga, as is popular today, is understood mostly in physical terms with the larger influence of Hatha Yoga. However, the yoga of these ancient civilizations is much more. It’s a path to spiritual realization.

The conduit for the higher realization of yoga is the Naadi system. This not only becomes the pathway for spiritual realization, but also for physical and mental well-being. This is well recognized in the Tantra Yoga system and the Chinese bio-meridian system.

The quest of modern physics to understand the nature of universal existence has led to new scientific developments. One such method has been Electro-Photonic Imaging that has recently emerged, built on the research work of Germans and Russians since 1939.

CYAI is an initiative that explores the depths of these knowledge repositories, and discovers the commonalities amongst them. Its where traditional wisdom meets modern science.

MISSION of CYAI is to bring correct understanding of yoga based on principles enunciated in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, maintaining standards in teaching and application of yoga, promoting scientific inquiry in yoga processes with the concept of Naadis of Yoga, and seeking to bring unity among the diversity of humanity.

All like minded individuals and institutions are encouraged to join this effort. Please go to Get Involved (Membership) page to register for membership.
