Yoga today is being studied at the conscious level-information and skill. The subconscious education of the eight Bhavas is completely missed out. The Yogic processes generate even if transiently certain wholesome subjective experiences (Aklista Vrttis)/. It is from these experiences that one builds up a healthy personality. Today when we are looking for an alternate education, we may as well think of some of these higher concepts, available to us in these programmes of education. There is already a movement in Western countries towards affective and trans – personal modes of learning besides humanistic education. Yoga education goes deeper than these attempts and can as a result take care of a wider area of the human personality in comparison to the present materialistic modes of education. These yogic procedures have been tried at The Yoga Institute, Santa Cruz for 83 years on school children and adults. The results have been very very satisfying.
