Integrated Yogic Studies
Through Practice and Sadhana, Deepening Yogic Lifestyle, Experience and Skills
We are happy to announce the NEW SYAE COURSE for committed students of yoga and yoga teachers and instructors trained in the Satyananda system of yoga. This course follows the path of progression from personal yoga practice to sadhana, and from sadhana to yogic lifestyle.

Objectives of the course
1. To deepen the ongoing effort of integration of personal yoga sadhana into activities of daily life and to guide this process towards the realistic expression of yogic lifestyle.
2. To enhance the skills which are a natural outcome and expression of this process, which enable us to share the knowledge of yoga with others and teach Satyananda Yoga in the community.
Course Structure
This Integrated Yogic Studies is an eight-months course with two in-depth residentials – the first for twenty-one days, and then an eight-day residential at the end of the course.
Between the residential periods, students are expected to commit to a regular home practice, maintain and regularly submit a home practice diary, maintain a yoga teaching journal and complete a number of written assignments on the components begun at the residential.
Those completing the Integrated Yogic Studies course will deepen their understanding and experience of the philosophy, psychology and physiology of Yoga and its effects in accordance with the Satyananda system of yoga, thus establishing progress in their own Sadhana while enriching their skills and techniques to inspire others to take up the path of yoga more seriously and sincere
NEW dates
