The COE will focus on conducting research, creating courses and collaborating with similar institutions to promote the holistic development of students and children. The goal is to equip them with the skills they need to succeed in today’s world.
At the heart of this initiative is COE’s development and delivery of meticulously customized courses for both higher education institutions and schools that harmoniously blend yoga and soft skills. The unique teaching methodology using games and storytelling makes the courses highly engaging and impactful. Branded as “Achieve Series” for universities and “Imperium 361 Series” for schools, these courses are created using evidence-based insights to improve the physical, mental and emotional wellbeing of students. COE will also continue its research into the benefits of yoga and soft skills to students.
