A mobile-based app to help users locate certified yoga instructors and institutes around them has been commissioned by the ministry, which regulates alternative systems of medicine, including yoga.
The app will list yoga instructors and institutes that have been validated by experts from the Central Council for Research in Yoga & Naturopathy (CCRYN) under the ministry. Instructors and institutes interested in getting certified will have to apply to the Ayush ministry and will get listed after CCRYN verifies their skill and quality of services.
Ayush has two yoga-specific apps to provide information and data around International Yoga Day (IYD) events. The Bhuvan Yoga app was launched last year to map the number of people participating in IYD. This app is not open to public. The yoga locator was specifically created for people to locate IYD events.
