What is Integral Yoga? 
Every human being longs for happiness and seeks it according to his or her own development. Some seek to satisfy the ever changing physical, emotional, and intellectual aspects of personality. Others, having learned from experience, seek a permanent happiness.

It has been taught by countless sages and saints throughout the ages that true and lasting happiness is our very own nature: what we seek is within us. This is the nameless One that has been given many names: the Indweller of all beings, the Self, God, Brahman, Jehovah, Cosmic Consciousness, Nirvana, the Kingdom of God within, and the Source of all Life.

Since it is infinite, it can be experienced only when we rise above the finite personality. Yoga is both this experience and the means to this experience.

Meditation is a focusing of the mind on a single object, creating the cessation of all thought. As thoughts dissipate, the mind becomes quiet, and we are able to be fully in the present moment.

As one practices Yoga, the body, emotions, and intellect become perfected tools for service to humanity. At the same time, all obstacles to the realization of perfect happiness gradually drop away.

Integral YogaŽ is a synthesis of methods that develops all sides of the spiritual aspirant. It is a scientific system verifiable by anyone who practices sincerely.
