This year, Integral Yoga ® celeates a half century of service. It was the summer of 1966 in New York City when the Pop Art icon Peter Max introduced his friends— a lively group of artists, photographers, musicians, and hip and aware folks—to Sri Swami Satchidananda, who had arrived for a two-day visit arranged by the filmmaker Conrad Rooks. It took only a few evenings in that Yoga master’s company and some of his beautiful Yoga classes to inspire the group to request him to extend his stay. Swami Satchidananda agreed and began to teach classes in Hatha Yoga, lead Kirtans, and give talks—all from his temporary residence at the Oliver Cromwell Hotel. Soon, his enthusiastic students rented a larger apartment, at 500 West End Avenue, and founded the Integral Yoga Institute on October 7, 1966. In 1970, Integral Yoga moved to West 13th Street in Greenwich Village. The rest is history. Today, Integral Yoga institutes, centers, and teachers serve the world on six of the seven continents. Our teachers continue to develop specialized Yoga practices for every population and environment— all the while maintaining a deep reverence for the classical foundations and integrity of the Integral Yoga tradition given to us by Sri Swami Satchidananda. Why has Integral Yoga been around for 50 years? Because of you. Thank you for allowing us to serve you. 50 Years of Peaceful Practice— the sublime Integral Yoga class for every body and every condition 50 Years of Interfaith Teachings— “Truth Is One, Paths Are Many” 50 Years of Vegetarian Living— a sustainable and healthful diet for each of us and our planet 50 Years of Natural Health— managing stress as the best medicine Swami Satchidanandaji Maharaj His Holiness Sri Swami Satchidanandaji Maharaj FHunadamtehntaa ls oYf Inotegraa l Yoga (Sri Gurudev) founded Integral Yoga ® in 1966, the 4-Week Course for Beginners $80 worldwide Integral Yoga Institutes, and Satchidananda Mon., Mar. 7–28 • 6:15–8:15 p.m. Rev.

    ABOUT INTEGRAL YOGA HERSHAYOGA.COM The Goal of Integral Yoga The goal of Integral Yoga and the birthright of every individual is to realise the spiritual unity behind all the diversities of the entire creation and to live harmoniously as members of one universal family. This goal is achieved by developing: a body of optimum health and strength senses under total control a mind well-disciplined, clear and calm an intellect as sharp as a razor a will as strong and pliable as steel a heart full of unconditional love and compassion an ego as pure as crystal and a life filled with Supreme Peace and Joy Integral yoga is a combination of specific methods designed to develop every aspect of the individual: physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. It is a scientific system, which integrates the various branches of Yoga in order to bring about a complete and harmonious development of the individual. Hatha Yoga: Bodily postures (asanas), deep relaxation, breath control (Pranayama), cleansing processes (kriyas), and mental concentration create a supple and relaxed body; increased vitality; and radiant health. As the body and mind become purified and the practitioner gains mastery over his or her mind, he or she finally attains the goal of Yoga, Self-Realisation. Karma Yoga: The path of action through selfless service. By performing duty without attachment or desire for the results of action, the Karma Yogi purifies his or her mind. When the mind and heart are purified, the Karma Yogi becomes an instrument through which the Divine Plan or Work is performed. Thereby he or she transcends his or her individuality and experiences the Divine Consciousness.

  • The Rise of Bengali Yoga (Excerpt from Sun, Moon and Earth: the Sacred Relationship of Yoga and Ayurveda)
    The Rise of Bengali Yoga (Excerpt from Sun, Moon and Earth: The Sacred Relationship of Yoga and Ayurveda) By Mas Vidal To set the stage for a moment, the state of Bengal is an eastern state of India and is one of the most densely populated regions on the planet. It is home to the Ganges river delta at the confluence of the Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers. Rivers have always been a sacred part of yoga and the Indian lifestyle. The capital of Bengal is Kolkata, which was the center of the Indian independence movement. As yoga began to expand at the turn of the century through the 1950s, as a counter-cultural force opposed to British occupation, the region also struggled against a tremendous set-back, the Great Bengal Famine of 1943- 44, which took an estimated two to three million lives. India battled through this and eventually gained independence in 1947. Bengal managed to become a womb for bhakti yogis and the nectar that would sustain the renaissance of yoga in India and across the globe. Bengali seers like Sri Aurobindo promoted yoga as an integral system, a way of life that cultivated a dynamic relationship between mind, body, and soul. Some of the many styles of yoga that provide this pure synthesis remain extant in India, but only through a few living yoga teachers and lineages. This synthesis may even still exist sporadically in commercial yoga. One of the most influential figures of yoga in the West was Paramahansa Yogananda, who formulated a practical means of integrating ancient themes and techniques for the spiritual growth of people in Western societies, and for Eastern cultures to reestablish their balance between spirituality and the material.

Condescend to accept this humble flower, fragrant with the aroma of thine own divine glory, immeasurable and infinite. Hundreds of savants and scholars might write hundreds of tomes on your glory, yet it would still transcend them all. In accordance with thine ancient promise: yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati bharata abhyutthanamadharmasya tadatmanam srijamyaham paritranaya sadhoonam vinasaya cha dushkritam dharmasamsthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge (Gita IV–7, 8) You, the Supreme Being, the all-pervading Sat-chidaranda-Para-Brahman, have taken this human garb and come into this world to re-establish Dharma (righteousness). The wonderful transformation you have brought about in the lives of millions all over the world is positive proof of your Divinity. I am honestly amazed at my own audacity in trying to bring this Supreme God, Bhagavan Sivananda, to the level of a human being (though Sage Valmiki had done so while narrating the story to Lord Rama) and to describe the Yoga of the Yogeshwareshwara, the goal of all Yogins.

And we especially welcome you who are relatively new to Yoga and Ashram life. We would like to prepare you for a new kind of unforgettable vacation. What is your “bottom line” for a vacation? A vacation is both a renewal and a reward for many hours of hard work that have opened the space in life where you can get away, rest and renew, and reconnect to what is really meaningful. Yoga, by definition, is that reconnection and renewal. Yoga— physically, emotionally, philosophically, integrally, mystically, and spiritually— offers pathways to that reconnection. It can be hard work, but it is work that strengthens, invigorates, and nourishes the body, mind, and soul. Come join us to rediscover your inner sacred space with twice daily Yoga asana classes and meditation satsangs. Explore the sacred nature that feeds our bodies, minds, and souls with quiet forest walks, or dig into the Ashram gardens that provide us with fruits, vegetables, and flowers. The bottom line of Yoga living is delving into the sacred. This is the goal of an Ashram vacation. Dive deep within and reconnect to the sacred. Find sacred silence.

  • Alignment Yoga
    Alignment Yoga Advanced Studies/ Teacher Training with Scott Anderson 2010/11 www.AlignmentYoga.com Welcome to Alignment Yoga Thank you for examining Alignment Yoga’s Advanced Studies Program. Whether you desire a deepening understanding of your practice and/or aspire to teach, we have the experience and expertise to facilitate your growth. This program is based on Scott Anderson’s more than 20 years of teaching and 15 years training teachers. Participants will receive extensive instruction in the art & science of Hatha Yoga and the skills needed to safely & competently teach this ancient practice. Many yoga schools teach the outer form of yoga postures (a knee here, an elbow there…), but neglect teaching the art of modifying the techniques to the needs of individuals. We emphasize that form follows function in the practice of Hatha Yoga. Rather than memorizing endless names and details, you will be encouraged to think for yourself as you refine your observational skills. We firmly believe, to paraphrase the old adage, it’s better to teach a man to fish than to simply give him a fish to eat. Trying to be everything to everybody generally dooms an endeavor to mediocrity. Every program director is thus faced with choices – their priority list, so to speak. While our program complies faithfully with Yoga Alliance National Certification Guidelines, we’ve placed particular emphasis in two areas. • Our exploration of the techniques of asana, pranayama, bandha and kriya are comprehensive and backed with a rigorous study of anatomy & physiology. You will understand not only the inner workings of these techniques, but develop an extensive array of techniques to transmit your understanding to your students.

The soul Constable Delhi Police India that is afflicted with birth, death, sorrow, falsehood, disease and ignorance wants to escape from them. Sri Aurobindo who was an Indian Yogi, Philosopher, Guru, gave the concept of a new form of yogic philosophy being not satisfied with the approaches of traditional yogic philosophies. He called his yoga ‘Purna Yoga’ or ‘Integral Yoga’. This yoga aims at the conscious union with the Divine in the supermind and the transformation of the nature. It is a collective yoga that transforms life universally. This paper is and attempt to study and understand the philosophy and approach of the Integral Yoga and try to understand the differences of Integral yoga with the traditional yoga approaches. Keywords: Integral yoga, Indian yogi, Purna yoga, yoga approaches Introduction Sri Aurobindo developed a new method of yoga which subsequently became known as Integral Yoga because he felt that all other branches of yoga were not adequate for the realisation of the totality of the truth. Sri Aurobindo’s concept of the integral yoga is very comprehensive. He had a clear system of practice that he called integral yoga, as it was based on a synthesis of different paths of yoga.

Sri Aurobindo's Formulations of the Integral Yoga Debashish Banerji California Institute of Integral Studies San Francisco, CA, USA Sri Aurobindo Ghose (1872–1950) developed, practiced and taught a form of yoga, which he named integral yoga. If one peruses the texts he has written pertaining to his teaching, one finds a variety of models, goals, and practices which may be termed formulations or versions of the integral yoga. This article compares three such formulations, aiming to determine whether these are the same, but in different words, as meant for different audiences, or whether they represent different understandings of the yoga based on changing perceptions.
