Yoga means a spiritual life. Yoga is based on dharma, the fundamental laws of the nature, the right behaviour code. In Sanskrit Yoga means &quot;Union with God&quot;.<br />
Les sages contr&ocirc;lent leur corps comme ils contr&ocirc;lent leur parole. En v&eacute;rit&eacute;, ils contr&ocirc;lent aussi leurs pens&eacute;es &agrave; la perfection. Les senteurs des fleurs, qu'elles soient santal, tagara ou jasmin, le vent les emporte toutes. Seul le parfum de l'homme de bien s'oppose &agrave; son souffle, embaumant tous les horizons.&quot;

AtmaYoga is a contemplative, gentle, yet dynamic approach to the powerful intimacy of yoga. Created from compassionate self awareness, inner stillness, and core strength, the practice is a path returning to the true Self. My intention as a yoga teacher is to assist each practitioner to explore themselves, their own inner path, and the unlimited potential for healing and wholeness that lives in the reunion of mind, body, heart, and soul.

Karma yoga (Sanskrit: ???? ???), (also known as Buddhi Yoga) or the &quot;discipline of action&quot; is based on the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, a sacred Sanskrit scripture of Hinduism. One of the four pillars of yoga, Karma yoga focuses on the adherence to duty (dharma) while remaining detached from the reward. It states that one can experience salvation (Moksha) or love (bhakti) of God by performing their duties in an unselfish manner for the pleasure of the Supreme, which is the welfare of the world. Karma Yoga is an intrinsic part of many derivative types of yoga, such as Natya Yoga.

A yoga attained through selfless service, renouncing the fruits of one&rsquo;s action, and performing actions with pure intention, devoid of selfish motive. To uplift the lives of others!

Karma Yoga is consecration of all actions and their fruits unto the Lord. Karma Yoga is performance of actions dwelling in union with the Divine, removing attachment and remaining balanced ever in success and failure.<br />
Karma Yoga is selfless service unto humanity. Karma Yoga is the Yoga of action which purifies the heart and prepares the Antahkarana (the heart and the mind) for the reception of Divine Light or attainment if Knowledge of the Self. The important point is that you will have to serve humanity without any attachment or egoism.

Karma Yoga is the spontaneous communion with God through action.<br />
To perform all activities in an intimate fusion and in deep communion with the Divine which is in us, in profound harmony with the universal around us and with the transcendental beyond us, not to let us be limited by our often separating and rigid human mind, not to be the slave of its ignorant or aberrant imperatives and of its narrow suggestions, this is Karma Yoga.<br />
The supreme goal in Karma Yoga is the same as in all forms of Yoga: the realisation of the Supreme Eternal or the Impersonal Divine.

Jnana is knowledge. To know Brahman as one's own Self is Jnana. To say, &quot;I am Brahman, the pure, all-pervading Consciousness, the non-enjoyer, non-doer and silent witness,&quot; is Jnana. To behold the one Self everywhere is Jnana.<br />
Ajnana is ignorance. To identify oneself with the illusory vehicles of body, mind, Prana and the senses is Ajnana. To say, &quot; I am the doer, the enjoyer, I am a Brahmin, a Brahmachari, this is mine, he is my son,&quot; is Ajnana. Jnana alone can destroy Ajnana, even as light alone can remove darkness.&nbsp;<br />
Brahman, the Supreme Self, is neither the doer of actions nor the enjoyer of the fruits of actions. The creation, preservation and destruction of the world are not due to Him. They are due to the action of Maya, the Lord's energy manifesting itself as the world-process.

In the teachings of the Twentieth century Bengali philosopher-sage Sri Aurobindo, Integral yoga (or purna yoga, Sanskrit for full or complete yoga, sometimes also called supramental yoga) refers to the process of the union of all the parts of one's being with the Divine, and the transmutation of all of their jarring elements into a harmonious state of higher divine consciousness and existence.<br />
Integral Yoga must not be confused with a trademark &quot;Integral Yoga&quot; of Swami Satchidananda.

Integral yoga is a scientific system to mix different branches or forms of yoga in order to attain the complete and perfect richness of all upper potential qualities of the individual.<br />
This is an intelligent combination of traditional specific methods meant to secure healthy development for each level of the human being: physical, emotional, mental, intellectual and spiritual.&nbsp;<br />
We may say that integral Yoga is a synthesis of all forms of Yoga. It mainly aims to a perfect body, utterly healthy and vigorous, a clear, strong mind, calm and controlled; a refined, vivid intellect, as keen as a steel razor, a heart brimming with love and compassion, which is able to live by empathy the spiritual states of the fellow people, a life full of sublime ideals, dedicated to the others&rsquo; wealth and happiness, where the aspiration of achieving the inner eternal Self is always prevailing.

Integral Yoga Institute, founded in 1966 by Sri Swami Satchidananda, is a worldwide Yoga organization dedicated to the principles of peace, healthful and balanced living, and selfless service.<br />
Integral Yoga is the complete Yoga, which integrates all aspects of life and maintains our natural condition of an easeful body, a peaceful mind, and a useful life. It combines various methods of Yoga, including: physical postures, breathing practices, and relaxation techniques (Hatha Yoga), selfless service (Karma Yoga), devotion and prayer (Bhakti Yoga), meditation techniques (Raja Yoga), mantra repetition (Japa Yoga), self-inquiry (Jnana Yoga).
