The BNYS (Bachelor of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences) is an undergraduate medical degree that trains students in the integrated discipline of naturopathy and yoga therapy. It emphasizes natural healing techniques and yogic practices for the prevention and treatment of diseases.

The program is grounded in the philosophy that the human body has an innate ability to heal itself, and focuses on drugless therapies using natural elements such as diet, water, sunlight, mud, massage, and therapeutic yoga.

Students are taught modern medical sciences like anatomy, physiology, and pathology alongside holistic systems like:

• Hydrotherapy

• Mud therapy

• Fasting therapy

• Nutrition therapy

• Chromo therapy (color healing)

• Yoga asanas, pranayama, meditation, kriyas

BNYS graduates become trained professionals capable of addressing both physical and psychological conditions through a balanced natural lifestyle and therapeutic yoga.
