Nepal Yoga Academy's core values and principals:
To Learn and Practice Authentic Yoga-
Around the world, some yoga practitioners have become more quantitative than qualitative. Yoga has become generalized and commercialized distorting the practice from its original values. These altered forms of yoga can be more harmful than fruitful. Any teacher without extensive knowledge of yoga as described in the ancient yoga scripts can be misled in their teaching among their students. This can sometimes have harmful consequences. We believe in imparting students authentic knowledge of yoga according to ancient scripture. We strive to educate our students precise ways of practice and accurate tools to teach in a scientific, simple and reliable manner
