Bachelor of Naturopathy and Yogic Science (BNYS) is a 5.5-year undergraduate medical system degree in India that focuses on natural healing methods and yoga-based therapies instead of conventional drugs and surgery.

It combines two major systems:

🧭 Course structure

• 4.5 years academic study

• 1 year compulsory internship

• Includes subjects like anatomy, physiology, pathology, nutrition, psychology, yoga therapy, and natural medicine systems

🏥 Career options

After BNYS, graduates can work as:

• Naturopathy & yoga physician

• Wellness consultant

• Yoga therapist in hospitals or wellness centers

• Lecturer/researcher in yoga and naturopathy

• Health coach in wellness clinics or resorts

🧾 Recognition

In India, BNYS is regulated under the AYUSH system (Ministry of AYUSH), which covers traditional medicine systems like Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy.

If you want, I can also compare BNYS with MBBS, BAMS, or BPT so you can understand which is better for different career goals.
