Yoga school to expand training across China

KUNMING - The China-India Yoga College plans to expand its training beyond Kunming, the capital of Southwest China's Yunnan province, as yoga gains popularity in China as a healthy lifestyle choice.

The college opened its first branch on Dec 24 at Yunnan University in the city of Lijiang as part of its nationwide partnership with universities.

A total of 50 branches will be set up to boost yoga education and teacher training, according to Chen Luyan, dean of the China-India Yoga College.
