Yoga has been a movement in Tezpur University. Though the practice of Yoga had been a compulsory part of some departments of the university, the formal introduction of Yoga as an 'add on course' for students started from August 2010.

It started from the premises of the Sophisticated Instrumentation Centre. For a temporary period it operated from a room in the shopping mall and finally it was shifted to the present location.

The Yoga Centre was expanded and renamed as the Centre for Yoga and Sports Sciences in 2022, and sports-related courses were introduced.
