World Happiness Academy · One pathway, three levels
YVH — Yoga Vāsiṣṭha Hypnotherapy
From the tales of the Supreme Yoga to supervised work with clients: 190 hours in three levels, each one opening the next, with Fundamental Peace as the measure.
What YVH is
An old text and a modern craft, taught together
Yoga Vāsiṣṭha Hypnotherapy sets the sixty-four tales of the Yoga Vāsiṣṭha beside what hypnotherapy knows about attention, imagination and suggestion. It is a model proposed for research: its hypotheses are published, and they are still to be tested.
Across the three levels the measure stays the same: Fundamental Peace, taken with the FP20 before, during and after the work.

How the levels connect
Each level opens the next
- 1Level 1 is open to coaches and hypnotherapists, and it is the way in to everything else.
- 2Level 2 asks for a hypnotherapy certification and Level 1.
- 3Level 3 asks for Levels 1 and 2, and a practice in which you can see three clients.
If you coach and do not practise hypnotherapy, Level 1 is complete in itself: its coaching track stays inside the limits of coaching.

What holds at every level
- What appears in trance or regression is a subjective experience. It is never offered as proof of anything that happened, in this life or in another.
- No belief is asked of the practitioner or of the client.
- The work is practised inside your own profession and the rules of the place where you work. It does not replace medical, psychiatric or psychological care.
- The levels are the Academy's own. They are not ICF levels, the programs are not ICF-accredited, and none of them replaces a hypnotherapy certification.
Interlife regression is taught here as part of YVH. It is not Life Between Lives®, the method of the Michael Newton Institute, which trains and certifies its own facilitators.

Questions
Before you choose
- Where do I start?
- With Level 1, YVH Foundations. You can join the live cohort that begins in February 2027, or start the narrated course today.
- Can I take Level 2 or Level 3 on its own?
- No. Each level builds on the one before: Level 2 uses the model, the settling and the parts dialogue of Level 1, and Level 3 places the four regressions of Level 2 inside a full course of work.
- I am a coach, not a hypnotherapist. How far can I go?
- Level 1, in its coaching track. Levels 2 and 3 are hypnotherapy and ask for a hypnotherapy certification first.
- What does the whole pathway cost?
- For a founding participant, 890 USD for Level 1, 1,490 USD for Level 2 and a planned 2,490 USD for Level 3: 4,870 USD for 190 hours. For participants resident in India, 45,000 INR, 75,000 INR and a planned 125,000 INR. You pay for each level when you enrol in it.
- Is this an ICF program?
- No. These are continuing-education programs of the World Happiness Academy, and their levels are not ICF levels. An application for ICF Continuing Coach Education for Level 1 is in preparation; any units depend on ICF's decision.
- Do I have to believe in past lives?
- No. The programs work with what a person experiences and with what it changes for them, and they make no claim about where those experiences come from.
Start with Level 1
