State sees rise in yoga education and career opportunities
1 2 Vijayawada: With the state govt actively promoting yoga through 'Yogandhra' campaign, there has been a notable surge in interest in yoga education and related career opportunities across the state. The month-long yoga programmes being held in connection with the International Yoga Day have sparked a new wave of enthusiasm, especially among youth and health-conscious individuals. As yoga gains global recognition not just as a wellness practice but also as a career path, more people are seeking formal training and certification. Even seasoned yoga practitioners, many of whom have been informally teaching or practicing for years, are now looking to obtain recognized certifications from accredited universities and institutions. The reason is growing international demand—especially from countries where online yoga classes are booming. Foreign students and yoga platforms are increasingly evaluating the educational qualifications of yoga instructors before signing up or hiring them. Institutions offering courses are on high demand. PB Siddhartha College in the city affiliated to Krishna University is offering a Diploma in Yoga Education, a course that has seen consistently good enrollment over the past two years. However, academy sources report that demand has risen significantly this year, largely due to the govt-led awareness campaigns and large-scale yoga events under Yogandhra 2025. "Demand for Yoga courses is increasing every year. Many students are enrolling with the aim of pursuing careers in health and wellness or teaching yoga abroad. They now understand the value of certified training. We are offering a 10-month long programme in two semesters covering vast topics in yoga. Many senior yoga teachers are making a beeline to enroll in this course and we made attendance mandatory for everyone ," said Dr Krishna Reddy, physical director of Siddhartha Academy. Reddy added that many students who passed the diploma secured good jobs and many corporate companies are offering campus placements to our students.
