Students at a university in Shenyang, Northeast China's Liaoning province, participate in a course of yoga on campus.

KUNMING-The China-India Yoga College plans to expand its training beyond Kunming, the capital of Southwest China's Yunnan province, as yoga gains popularity in China as a healthy lifestyle choice.

The college opened its first branch on Dec 24 at Yunnan University in the city of Lijiang as part of its nationwide partnership with universities.

A total of 50 branches will be set up to boost yoga education and teacher training, according to Chen Luyan, dean of the China-India Yoga College.

Nearly 100 yoga teaching and training centers will also be built to provide teacher training courses, yoga workshops and nonprofit courses, according to Chen.

The China-India Yoga College recruits undergraduates and postgraduates at Yunnan Minzu University. It was founded in June 2015 as part of a China-India cultural exchange program.
