We have given training for more than 500 persons of all ages and made them experts in teaching Yoga. We are the recognised centre of S-WYASA Yoga University, Bangalore and have given opportunity to obtain UGC approved University Certificates in Yoga. — YIC, BSc, MSc, PGDYT etc. In association with S-VYASA University, PYTRC is conducting various yoga related courses since 2010.

When MHRD established Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga all over India we were the accredited as its District Yoga Wellness Centre in Ernakulam. Somany were given training under this programme. We conduct Yoga Sadhaka Sangamam, a 3-day residential programme for enthusiastic yoga practitioners every year during the National Yoga Week in the month of February. In August every year we conduct yoga Adhyapaka Sangamam-3 day residential programme for Yoga Acharyas. We celebrated International Day of Yoga (IDY) as Yoga Week with two yathras one from Kasargode and another from Thiruvananthapuram which concluded at Ernakulam on 21st June,2015. Stop Diabetic Movement (Madhumeha Muktha Bharatham) was also conducted in various centres all over Kerala.

Apart from the academic pursuits, we have also been conducting Yoga awareness workshops, yoga therapy for diseases, regular classes for yoga practice, yoga workshops to reduce exam fearin school students etc. Other social activities like sponsoring schoolchildren are being conducted to support the weaker sections of the society.

Yoga Championship We have been conducting Yoga Olympiad for the last four years. The Final Competition at the National and International Level are conducted by SVyasa Yoga University at Bangalore. We are the authorised agency to conduct this at the District and State Level.

The competition shall be on team basis. Each team should be formed of 4 to 8 members. Separate competition will also be there for men and women. Not only the skills in Asana, Sooryanamaskara, prananyama, mudra and kriya but overall performance will also be evaluated. Though the championship is on team basis, an individual champion from all categories will be selected on the basis of individual performance.

Yoga is not merely a physical exercise. Yes, physical exercise also is involved but it should lead to mental equilibrium and proceed further to spiritual sublimation. This awareness should be spread among all the Yoga Practitioners. As Sage Patanjali recommends: Ashtanga (eight limbs of Yoga-Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Prathyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi should go simultaneously. This will help in making the children and Youth responsible citizens. This is the main aim behind conducting the Yoga Olympiad.

Levels of Competitions The championships are conducted at District and State Levels for both men and women separately. District level championships will be conducted in the respective districts at suitable avenues. Those selected (First & Second) from district level competitions can participate in the state level championship.
