YCB Level 2 case studies
YCB Level 2 · Put your knowledge to work in context.
YCB Level 2 - the Yoga Wellness Instructor certificate - is the middle rung of the Yoga Certification Board's scheme under India's Ministry of AYUSH. It is intended for people who already practise yoga regularly and want to use it responsibly in a wellness setting: community classes, corporate and school programmes, gyms and preventive health work, rather than clinical therapy. The syllabus is broad rather than deep. It spans yoga history and textual basics, the full practical toolkit (shatkarma, sukshma vyayama, asana, pranayama, bandha, mudra), applied anatomy and physiology, yoga for lifestyle disorders, ahara and dinacharya, and teaching methodology. The YCB Level 2 case studies are 5 cases and about 2,665 words.
