Swami AsokanandaE-RYT 500
Swami Asokananda, a monk since 1973, is one of Integral Yoga’s foremost teachers, known for his warmth, intelligence, and good humor. His teaching comes out of his own practice and experience, since he has absorbed the wisdom of his guru, Sri Swami Satchidananda, since the age of 19. While he enjoys sharing the practical wisdom of the Yogic philosophy (especially that of the great Indian scripture the Bhagavad Gita), he also loves his practice of Hatha Yoga and is one of our primary instructors for Intermediate and Advanced Hatha Yoga Teacher Training. In the past, he has served as the president of Satchidananda Ashram–Yogaville® and Integral Yoga® International; he is currently the President of the New York Integral Yoga Institute.

Program Description
In Sanskrit, sat means truth and sangha means community. Satsang offers an opportunity to come together with IYI senior teacher, Swami Asokananda, to share spiritual teachings. The philosophy of Integral Yoga is explored through a videotaped talk by IYI’s founder, Sri Swami Satchidananda, followed by an informal discussion.
Although spiritual paths may merge, the act of sharing spiritual teachings with others is inspiring and creates a solid foundation for continued practice. People of all faiths are welcome.
