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.
