VINIYOGA® COUNCIL OF EVALUATORS

Viniyoga Pte. Ltd., though an independent organisation, operates under the guidance of the Krishnamacharya Healing & Yoga Foundation (KHYF), the worldwide umbrella of the Viniyoga® Tradition.

The KHYF has a Council of Academic Evaluators whose main objectives will be to evaluate our graduating trainees, especially in our Yogatherapy Training Programs. Our most comprehensive Yoga Therapy Training requires research projects to be taken up, in order to meet the highest education standard. We currently have two active batches of the Therapy Training, with three more due to commence this year and an additional one in 2018. It was felt that it would be more prudent for neutral external evaluators to evaluate these projects so that credibility is maintained and there is no space for bias.

The current members of the Council of Evaluators are:

1) Dr. Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani, Chairman: ICYER and Yoganjali Natyalayam, Puducherry, INDIA
2) Dr. Meena Ramanathan, Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute, Centre for Yoga Therapy Education and Research, Puducherry, INDIA
3) Ms. Anita Claney, Yoga Therapist, Arizona, USA
4) Professor Dr C R Srikumari Srisailasapathy, UGC Research Scientist C, Department of Genetics, University of Madras, Chennai, INDIA
5) Mr. Subodh Tiwari, Chief Executive Officer, Kaivalyadhama, INDIA
6) Dr. Maria Jesus Balbas Cisneros, Homeopath and Research Professor, SPAIN
7) Dr Philippe Geenens, Philosopher and Educational Director, BELGIUM
