Satyananda Yoga is a system
of yoga developed by Swami Satyananda Saraswati and his lineage,
which incorporates practices derived from ancient and traditional
sources.
Satyananda Yoga uses practices
in a traditional way, asanas (postures) to balance the body and
mind through the physical body, pranayama (breathing practices)
to work on the energy body (equated with Ki or Chi in other systems),
and meditation to calm and focus the mind. It also takes a broader
outlook by teaching and encouraging yogic lifestyles, not only
for renunciates but also for householders and lay practitioners.
To this end Satyananda Yoga
adopts the attitudes of Jnana Yoga (the path of knowledge), Bhakti
Yoga (the path of heart and emotion), Karma Yoga (the path of
service) and other yogas which enable the practitioner to frame
all aspects of their lives in a way which is conducive to spiritual
growth.
The Satyananda approach incorporates
the whole person, not just the body. There is an emphasis on awareness
and practitioners are encouraged to learn about all aspects of
their personality through Yoga. Change is a process that takes
place naturally as a consequence of regular practice with full
awareness, rather than by forcing the mind and body to the limit
and beyond.
We have included descriptions of
some common yogas in this website, however, the list is by no
means complete and it is recommended to receive the advanced teachings
from a competent master.
