Doctor of Yogic Studies

The Doctor of Yogic Studies program can be taken in class or through guided independent studies by American Trinity University. The goals of yoga are varied and range from improving health to achieving moksha. A serious practitioner of Yoga(someone pursuing the higher spiritual and religious goals of Yoga) takes upon themselves a life of austere self-discipline common to nearly all forms of mystical and religious life. The practices that constitute this self-disciplined life are called in yoga yama and niyama. This self-discipline is the ‘yoke’ that one puts upon oneself for the purpose of attaining moksha. An alternative definition is that Yoga is the method of yoking, or unifying, the lower egoistic personality to the higher via a process of sublimation.
