Doctors who have graduated from Sat Manav School of Yogic Sciences have received their degrees under the legal exemptions provided by Title 20-A §10708 of Maine Education Law. These exemptions recognize the religious nature of the institution and its authority to grant degrees in accordance with its religious teachings.

While operating under these exemptions, Sat Manav School of Yogic Sciences maintains a rigorous course of study and training. Our programs demand years of disciplined practice, immersive study in the sciences of Yoga and natural healing, and close mentorship under experienced teachers. Graduates are required to embody both the spiritual foundations and practical skills necessary to guide others responsibly in health and healing.
