Origins of Yoga

Yoga arose from the ancient Dravidian and Vedic traditions of ten thousand years ago or more. It grew from the need to understand the various aspects of human experience, from the physical through to the more subtle or inner realm.

What Is ?

Satyananda Yoga is an internationally renowned system of yoga that is firmly grounded in tradition and adapted to suit the needs of contemporary living. It includes Hatha, Raja, Karma, Jnana, Mantra and Bhakti Yogas as well as other branches and presents them in a unified package that is flexible enough to be applied according to individual needs. Satyananda Yoga is a systematic, step-by-step approach to yoga, that aims to integrate all aspects of our being.

Satyananda Yoga offers the rare opportunity to experience and try out a variety of different yogic paths in many different settings from the weekly class, through to the residential retreat centre situation. This provides access to the wide scope of traditional yogic practices which makes up Satyananda Yoga, presenting them in a way which is meaningful & relevant to modern day life. There is the opportunity in a weekly class to sample a little of what yoga has to offer, in workshops to delve a little deeper and in the residential retreat situation to dive into the vast ocean that is yoga. All these options can deepen knowledge and practice, enrich the inner world and provide one with tools and skills to manage life’s journey

is for Everyone

Satyananda Yoga does not postulate any political or religious beliefs. It provides everybody, regardless of social background, with tools for health, peace of mind and an inspired vision for their lives. People who practise Satyananda Yoga are of all ages, levels of fitness and come from many walks of life.

How Does Work?

Through an approach that incorporates awareness of all aspects of being, Satyananda Yoga promotes the alignment of body, mind, emotions and spirit. Disease and mental stress can be relieved by awakening the individual’s awareness and inherent self-healing powers. By steadying the emotions and calming the mind, we gain a sense of perspective, bringing a feeling of peace, freedom and inner strength.
