There are large number of people in Mumbai who are interested in studying yoga in more depth but are not in a position to remain absent from their family obligations or jobs for a long time, to go and stay at our Lonavala centre. Keeping in view their need, Kaivalyadhama Mumbai started conducting Certificates and Diploma Courses in Yoga, in Mumbai itself, from 1983.

These courses are of non-residential nature and the classes are conducted only in the morning and evening, leaving the students free to pursue their own activities. The emphasis in these courses is on developing a right perspective and understanding of science and Art of Yoga, through first-hand experience of right living in one's own mind-body framework. for this purpose.

This Course is open for both the graduate and undergraduate students, and acts as a foundation course for those who are interested in Diploma Course. Uptill now 40 doctors and 161 other students have gone through this course.
