China’s first yoga college, the India-China Yoga College, today opened enrollment for its new master’s programme, a college official said.
Students can now sign up for the three-year programme, the first two years of which will be completed in Kunming, capital of southwest China’s Yunnan Province, and the final year in India, according to Lu Fang, deputy dean on India- China Yoga College (ICYC).
