About Satyanananda Yoga “Yoga can be defined as a science for developing creativity; as a science for unfolding the deeper aspects of the personality; as the science of being; as the science of consciousness.” "Satyananda Yoga, also known as Bihar Yoga, is following a trend of yoga which is trying to mould itself to the conditions of day-to-day life, and, by becoming part of one's life, creating a different level of understanding about the desires, complexes, inhibitions, attachments and passions." Yoga means the experience of unity, harmony and oneness. It is an experience that incorporates body, mind, emotions and spirit. 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 yoga as well as other branches and presents them in a unified way 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. It does not postulate any political or religious beliefs. It provides everybody regardless of social background with the tools for health, peace of mind and an inspired vision for their lives. People who practice Satyananda Yoga are of all ages, levels of fitness and come from many walks of life. Body, mind, emotions and spirit are aligned. 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, bring a feeling of peace, freedom and inner strength. International Satyananda Yoga Centres are found throughout the world and are recognised by the respective Governments or are in the process of gaining Government recognition. Of course the best way to know Satyananda Yoga is to practice it! |
