Hatha Yoga is a system that brings the mind, body, and spirit into a balanced whole. Integral Yoga was founded by Sri Swami Satchidananda in 1966. He dedicated his life to the cause of peace. For further information, check out www.yogaville.org. and www.satchidananda.org
The goal of Integral Yoga and the birthright of every individual is to realize the spiritual unity behind all the diversities in the entire creation and to live harmoniously as members of one universal family. This goal is acheived by maintaining our natural condition of a healthy body and a calm, clear mind.
