To Request Your Certificate

Your education has been comprehensive, and you have a right to be confident in what you’ve learned and what you teach. Your certificate validates that competency to the world, including potential employers as well as students. We delight in issuing your certificate, an important document that also gives you legal rights to use the Svaroopa® yoga name and logo and/or the Svaroopa® Vidya name.
