Naropa University, a Buddhist center in Boulder , CO, announced it is establishing a new master’s program in Religious Studies with a Yoga Studies concentration that will offer rigorous academic and contemplative training in yoga through a combination of online coursework and in-person retreats. Naropa’s program is one of only a handful of graduate programs in yoga worldwide and blends the best of a traditional academic training in the history and philosophies of yoga with a deep engagement in the practical applications of yoga’s most transformative meditative practices.
The new master’s degree program is intended for yoga teachers and practitioners seeking to develop graduate-level expertise and linguistic proficiency in Sanskrit. It will prepare students for doctoral research in Indian yogic traditions, South Asian religions, and Indology. Those focused on modern postural yoga, such as sociology and anthropology will find the new program to be very valuable. The program is also suited for yoga teachers and practitioners who are interested in developing linguistic proficiency in Sanskrit and theoretical tools to enter the archive of India’s pre-modern Yogic traditions.
