A healthy body, a balanced mind, concentration as well as spiritual experiences and self-knowledge are only a few of the reasons to dedicate oneself to the yogic lifestyle.
SATYANANDA YOGA® combines the different yoga paths to a complete system in order to develop the various levels of the personality in a balanced manner. It teaches yoga as a holistic lifestyle incorporating all the aspects of human experience.
Hatha yoga for example is used to master the body and its energetic network (prana). Bhakti yoga supports the management of emotions and Karma yoga provides the right philosophy to deal with the many situations of daily life in a balanced way.
The most important yoga paths are described in the following texts in order to give an overview of the diversity of the integral yoga system of Swami Satyananda Saraswati.
Lato
The system allows the practitioner to become aware of all the aspects of his own inner nature and enables him to control them. During the first few steps an external and internal atmosphere of peace and purity is established as a basis for meditation. After this, the practitioner is guided from simple physical awareness to the highest spiritual perfection through the path of meditation.
Patanjali’s eightfold path consists of:
- Yamas: positive resolutions to maintain the quality of our relationships.
- Niyamas: disciplines to harmonize inner experiences.
