Mr. Nagendra said there are many school of thoughts by different yoga experts. However, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has advised these experts, including S-VYASA, to develop common protocol covering both traditional shastras and modern science and there is a consensus among these experts and organisations in framing common syllabus that fits into primary, middle and high school sectors.
The yoga curriculum for higher education will be announced soon by Ministry of Human Resource Development, said Mr. Nagendra.
