A beautiful ending

TNPESU provided me with the best of education and exposure from the finest of Yoga teachers and gurus. I got the opportunity to work for a very well known ayurvedic brand, ?Patanjali?. The faculty and the education given by them is exceptional. The college is itself very relaxing and gives a stress free environment. I met so many well known yogis and still rejoice the times i interacted with them. The college is promising and for all the sports and fitness enthusiasts.

The curriculum was solely designed to enhance and train our mind, body and soul towards Yoga. The course was 3 years long, the first year focused on introduction to basic yoga techniques and education. Later in the second year we were given complex yoga sessions and teaching lectures, while the third year was only practical, in which we practised yoga and got the chance to train a few groups. Apart from the yoga teaching, the university enhanced our communication skills and subjects like behavioural science and biology were taught too. The libraries and ground enabled us to explore more depth of the subjects and we had both the theoretical and practical knowledge. Exams were taken in the form of class tests, practical tests, internals and externals. At the end of each year Externals were taken as the final examinations which decided the scope of an individual for his chosen path.

At the end of the final year many agencies and foreign troops came to interview in order to hire us as yoga teachers. The hill station parts of India like Rishikesh, Haridwar, Dehradun etc are full of such organizations who look for qualified yoga teachers. The business runs huge annually when foreigners visit and take high paid sessions from Yoga Teachers. The university had the job open for students to apply as a teacher in the college itself, interviews and exams were conducted for the same. The average package ranges from 5-8 lakhs per annum for a yoga teacher.

TNPESU celebrated all the festivals and sports events with great enthusiasm and love. Students from all over India came to know each other and interacted with the help of annual meets, various sports days, festive season etc.Our major event was the World Yoga Day when we welcomed yogis and gurus from all over the world and celebrated the day in the form of various dance forms and music, showing our talent and paying regards to the teachers. It led us to show our musical side along with the profession and enjoy it.

The college fees for the BSC yoga course was taken annually for 3 years. It was INR 13,440 in total and INR 4,4480 for a year. It was one of the most affordable and feasible colleges with a huge scope ahead. It included all the opportunities to meet the biggest yoga teachers and gurus and the utilities provided by the college. When compared to the experience and my polished yoga skills, this seemed no big of an amount.

The college had a large variety of sports clubs which were open for every student, music and dance clubs and various art clubs. They let us feel free to showcase our multi talents. Various sport matches were organised between different departments and we used to compete with one another. Ceremonies of honour and achievements were hosted by the dean of the university. Farewells, freshers were properly celebrated and enjoyed. The infrastructure of the university was so well constructed for all the sports and activities enthusiasts and a stress free environment was experienced throughout.

Hostel buildings were beautifully constructed with the separated boys and girls hostel. It was guarded by tight security and each building has a warden to look after the students. The warden used to be sweet and humble, she was not strict but helpful. The mess was disciplined and had proper opening and closing timings. We all were taught to lead a strict and disciplined life with proper routine through the hostel life. The food was healthy and tasty. All the utilities were given properly with cleaned washrooms and bedrooms.

The yearly alumni meet used to take place at the end of each year where our ex seniors gurus came and addressed us about their experience in different yoga institutes. They guided us to grow in our respective area of interest . Many of them pursued to study further, many of them were followers of the great known yogi gurus, many worked in the ayurvedic centres which gave us the perception from all the sides. All the seniors were very polite, they were always ready to help the juniors.

I applied for the Bsc in Yoga course for TPESU, the admission process to apply for the same was through offline mode, where we needed to collect the registration forms and fill our authentic details. The eligibility criteria is based on the percentage obtained in 12th standard boards. I got 90% and got selected on merit basis for the Bsc course. After my name came in the list, I was called for the counselling sessions, later verified all my documents for the final registration and deposited the fees. The orientation was done on the first 3 days of college where we got to know about the university and its functioning.

The faculty at TNPESU was highly qualified and had various achievement awards and certificates in the Yoga section. The well known Yogi teachers used to deliver lectures and gave us the divine knowledge of yoga. All of the teachers were fit and strict. They made us disciplined and professionals in Yoga Routine. Apart from the study timings, they all were sweet and humble, supporting us in our respective journeys. Faculty was friendly and helped those who were not able to deliver complex yoga formations. Guest yogis used to visit from all over India especially for Yoga Day to bless us and teach about the Indian art form.
