| LOYRT and RIMYI have designed a course on "Certification 
              in Yoga" for children that helps them to be physically stronger, 
              mentally alert and they enjoy it. This is a universal course.
 The table below shows the various levels and the minimum age at 
              which a child can appear for an exam.
 
 
 
               
                | Level | Age |   
                | Arambhic | 9 
                  - 11 years |   
                | Prathmic | 11 
                  - 13 years |   
                | Dvityik | 13 - 15 years |   
                | Trtyik | 15 - 17 years |   
                | Praman Patra | 17 years and above |  This 8 year certification course has a universally applicable syllabus 
            which provides students a firm grounding in the science and philosophy 
            of yoga. This enables them to achieve good physical and mental health, 
            emotional stability and clarity of thought on completion of the 'Praman 
            Patra' level.
 
 The course also includes examinations. For each level, the student 
            appears for theory and practical exams. For the final Praman Patra 
            level, the student is even taught the art of teaching children. On 
            successful completion of this level, the student is permitted to teach 
            yoga.
 
 Since 1997, examinations have been conducted and over several hundred 
            successful students have been awarded certificates by RIMYI.
