What is the Eligibility for Sonbhadra AYUSH Yoga Recruitment 2026?
Educational Qualification
| Post | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Yoga Assistant | High School or Intermediate, then a Yoga certificate course of at least 3 months, and 3 years of work experience at a naturopathy clinic or hospital, or a yoga centre |
| Yoga Instructor (Female / Male) | Any one of the three routes below |
For both Yoga Instructor posts, you qualify through any one of these routes:
- B.A. (Yoga) three-year degree, M.Sc. (Yoga) or M.A. (Yoga), with 1 year of experience.
- P.G. Diploma (a course of at least one year) with 2 years of experience.
- Yoga Wellness Instructor certificate from the Yoga Certification Board, New Delhi.
Experience counts only if you gained it after passing the prescribed degree or P.G. Diploma. Work done while you were still studying will not help you. The Yoga Assistant post starts from a High School or Intermediate base, so 10th and 12th pass candidates should read that row. Graduates in yoga should also browse graduate government jobs.

The notice mentions no age relaxation for any category. The 1 July 2026 date appears in the application form, not in the body of the notice, so calculate your age on that date and write it in years, months and days as the form asks.
What is the Salary for Sonbhadra AYUSH Yoga Posts 2026?

|---|---|

The figure is a fixed lump-sum honorarium, not a pay scale, and the notice lists no pay level or allowances. The Female Instructor honorarium is lower than the Male Instructor rate in the notice itself, so this is not a typing error on our side. The duties also differ. Every Yoga Instructor must conduct at least 32 yoga sessions a month of at least an hour each at the wellness centre, schools and community level. A Yoga Instructor (Female) must also conduct at least 20 classes a month of at least an hour each for women’s groups.
