Satyananda Yoga Academy Information

Satyananda Yoga is an internationally renowned system of yoga developed by Swami Satyananda Saraswati, a modern yoga master. Widely regarded as ‘integral’ yoga, Satyananda Yoga encompasses all the major branches of yoga, including hatha, karma, bhakti, jnana and raja yogas. Yoga is often understood as being synonymous with physical exercise, but this is only one aspect. The aim of an integral approach is to develop and balance all aspects of one’s being – body, mind, emotions and psyche – leading the practitioner towards a more harmonious state of being. Firmly grounded in yogic tradition, the uniqueness of Satyananda Yoga is that it is an evolving yoga; it explores and draws out knowledge from the ancient yogic and tantric texts, and presents this in a practical form to the modern world. In this way the teachings are universal, progressive and inspiring. Satyananda Yoga Mangrove is retreat center and registered training organisation.
