'''Satyananda Yoga''' is a system of [[yoga]] developed by [[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 teaches yogic lifestyles.

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 help the practitioner frame other 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 focussing awareness in the practice. Change is a process that takes place naturally.

Underpinning the approach to teaching is the tradition of the [[Guru]] disciple relationship. This is a not uncontroversial area of the practice.
