~ Upcoming Classes at the Lilypad ~
Yoga classes are led by Vienna “Parashakti” Husson, with live music played by Jesse Gallagher, a fellow Integral Yoga teacher. Jesse plays selections from his meditation album “The Inner Sound,” along with the grand piano and ambient synthesizers for a rejuvenating experience.
What to Expect
Integral Yoga Hatha is a gentle and balanced physical Yoga practice. In sanskrit, "Ha" translates to Sun and "Tha" to Moon, signifying the focus on cultivating balanced, harmonious energy inside the body and out. In this practice, we are careful to counter every asana with an equal and opposite pose to cultivate equanimity. You can expect to feel peaceful and rejuvenated after class, leaving with more energy than you arrived with.

Integral Yoga &
Swami Satchidananda
Integral Yoga was founded in 1966 by Sri Swami Satchidananda. He developed the Integral Yoga Hatha class as a complete and balancing practice incorporating the ancient teachings of Yoga. Known as “The Woodstock Guru", Swami Satchidananda went on to open the Woodstock music festival in 1969 with the Peace chants “Hari OM'“ and “OM Shanti” which we continue to chant today!
Swami Satchidananda is the founder of Satchidananda Ashram-Yogaville, where both Jesse and Vienna were trained and certified to teach Integral Yoga in 2011 and 2022, respectively. Since 1966, Swami Satchidananda wrote many books and taught thousands of people worldwide, guiding them to embrace the universal teachings of Peace and Self-Mastery.
Vienna Parashakti
has been teaching Integral Yoga since 2022. She lived and worked at Swami Satchidananda’s ashram for 2.5 years following her 200-hr training. During this time she honed her skills teaching Integral Yoga to guests and residents, while learning to live a Yogic lifestyle. Named after the goddess Parashakti by her Integral Yoga teachers, her Sanskrit name translates to “the supreme force.”
