Inteyoga means Integrated Yoga: a way of studying and living yoga as a whole.
Classical Hatha Yoga provides a shared foundation. Inteyoga brings together practices from India's established yoga traditions, alongside Karma, Jnana, Mantra, Kundalini, Kriya and Bhakti Yoga.
The intention is to enrich daily life through Hatha Yoga and move towards the inner discipline of Raja Yoga. Practice, knowledge, service and devotion support one another.
Our approach draws on the teachings of Swami Sivananda, Swami Krishnananda, Swami Satyananda, Swami Vishnudevananda and fellow masters.
02 · The intention
किमर्थम् (Why) Inteyoga?
To bring understanding and direct experience together.
Inteyoga's aim is to support physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing through an approach grounded in yogic texts and experiential knowledge.
During teacher training, students have time to practise, experience and absorb both Bahiranga (external) and Antaranga (internal) yoga. Dr. Ashutosh brings his experience as a yoga teacher and medical doctor to this process.
Within the traditional yogic framework, the programme explores the relationship between the body, breath, mind and deeper awareness.
