The yoga college will invite yoga teachers from India to preside over courses at different levels of difficulty. Other than yoga practice, the college will also offer other courses on Indian culture and philosophy. All students who enroll in the college will have the chance to study at the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga, located in the Indian capital of New Delhi. Students who qualify will be granted international yoga training certificates.
The yoga college is designed to provide a platform for China and India to improve their cooperation and understanding in areas of culture and education. It is also aimed to help carry out the strategy of the Bangladesh, China, India and Myanmar (BCIM) Economic Corridor.
