Who We Are
Dear Students… Welcome to the Indian System of Medicine: Yoga and Naturopathy Educational Institute. At our ‘Asha Yoga, Naturopathy, and Paramedical Institute,’ we teach therapeutic methods for treating the human body—which is composed of the five fundamental elements—by utilizing those very same elements. These methods are taught with the specific aim of fostering self-employment and enabling dedicated patient care(DNYS OR PGDNYS). Furthermore, since 2015, our institute has been offering paramedical courses based on modern medicine protocols established by the World Health Organization (WHO), specifically the ‘Community Medical Services and Essential Drugs’ (CMS & ED) course and the ‘Diploma in Health and Sanitary Inspector'(DH&SI) program.
Our institute is Affiliated to All India Institute of Public Health & Welfare, New Delhi / Yamuna Nagar and is run under Swargiy Bhanudas Vitthalrao Waghmare Charitable Trust’s (Regi. No. E-771/Latur).
We provide excellent theoretical and practical learning facilities; additionally, recorded video lectures are uploaded to the institute’s YouTube channel, allowing students to access and study the material at any time. Yoga and Naturopathy is a recognized medical system, duly accredited by both the Government of Maharashtra and the Government of India. Upon obtaining a diploma in this discipline, you are entitled to prefix the title ‘Doctor’ to your name (DNYS OR PGDNYS) . Moreover, upon successfully completing the CMS & ED diploma—and in accordance with the directives of the Honorable Supreme Court—you are authorized to prescribe specific Allopathic medicines (as designated by the WHO) to patients and to issue medical certificates. To facilitate employment opportunities within the healthcare sector, we have introduced the ‘Diploma in Health and Sanitary Inspector’ course. We have provided our students with a supreme opportunity to dedicate themselves to the service of humanity. By leveraging this opportunity, they can establish their own clinics, businesses, or employment ventures in both urban and rural areas. We also assist our students in the registration process for their clinics or hospitals and remain steadfastly committed to providing them with legal support whenever required. Our mission is to instill the ethical values of healthcare service in our students, thereby molding them into accomplished medical practitioners and dedicated healthcare providers, while simultaneously ensuring their continued professional education.
Mission
To provide accessible, quality education in naturopathy, yoga, and paramedical sciences — empowering students to serve communities through natural, compassionate, and ethical healthcare practices.
Vision
To become a leading institute in holistic health education, producing skilled practitioners who bring natural healing and preventive healthcare to every corner of society.
“Healing is not just a profession — it is a purpose.”
When Asha Institute was established, our dream was simple — to create a space where students from all walks of life could access meaningful health education and step into the world as confident, caring practitioners.
Naturopathy and yoga are not new sciences. They are the wisdom of centuries, rediscovered and proven relevant in today’s world. At Asha, we bring this wisdom into the classroom — grounded, practical, and deeply human.
I have seen our students go on to serve villages, open clinics, train communities, and transform lives. That is what drives us every single day.
To every student considering joining us — you are not just choosing a course. You are choosing a calling. And we are here to walk that path with you.
