You’ll be led through a series of classical Yoga Asanas, Yogic Chanting, Netra Vyayamam (eye movements), Pranayama (breath control), Yoga Nidra (deep relaxation) and Meditation. 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 2016 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.
