Satyananda Yoga Academy

Satyananda Yoga Academy was established to preserve and regenerate the yogic sciences by combining academic and scientific methodology with a spiritual vision. It is one of the very few organisations in Australia offering Australian Government endorsed yoga training in a traditional ashram setting.
