Yoga Philosophy

If you want to understand advanced research in Biology, Chemistry, or Mathematics, you have to be a Biologist, Chemist or Mathematician. Same goes for Philosophy. If you want to understand advanced research in Philosophy, like the ancient wisdom of Yoga Philosophers, you have to be a Philosopher. What if you aren't any of these and you want to learn? Well then you should learn Biology from a Biologist, and Philosophy from a Philosopher. Due to Western Imperialism, Yoga Philosophy and South Asian philosophy is not given the respect it deserves: instead it is treated as though nonexperts, who are not trained philosophers, can be authorities. Enter Yoga Philosophy. Yoga Philosophy is unusual as it is instruction on yoga and philosophy by a yogi who is a professional philosopher, author of over 50 peer reviewed publications, who specializes in translation, South Asian philosophy, and Yoga. Now students of Yoga Philosophy can earn two levels of certification, either for their own edification, or to set themselves apart as qualified to teach yoga philosophy (including yoga ethics) Yoga Philosophy Certification shows to others that your guidance and teaching on Yoga Philosophy is also informed by such research and expertise. Students who successfully complete certification will also gain Dr. Shyam Ranganathan as a reference for Yoga Philosophy job applications. To earn your Level 1, Yoga Philosophy certification, purchase this qualifying course (for gaining support in the certification process and for testing to complete certification) and complete the four required course that contribute to the 100 hours of training in the Level 1 certification program. Discounts for all four courses and more available to students who enroll in the Level 1 Certification program by joining this course. Dr. Shyam Ranganathan is a scholar of South Asia, translation expert, and professional philosopher.
