What  is Purna  Yoga?

Purna Yoga is a method created by Swami Sivananda Aurobindo and Swami, Masters of the International School of Yoga I will give a brief review of the lineage that accompanies us on this path, which is the Purna Yoga. Purna Yoga Integral term is used in honor of Swami Aurobindo.

 

Swami Aurobindo understood that Yoga should be social, because when he comes to India, women could not do yoga, was patrimony of men and was only for a social stratum. They say that finding Swami Aurobindo in prison, is presented spiritually Mr. Krishna and his meditations has his first Samadhi.

 

Taking this as a sign appearance, it is dedicated to uniting techniques Buddha and India and this dedication and study begins to be critical of all existing schools of yoga at the time. He then decides to unite all methods of yoga to create a much richer and beneficial and would integrator, which called Integral, based on ancient Hatha yoga

Swami Asuri Kapila, who was born in Paris , France in 1901 , in his youth traveling to India there he addresses Arunachala where he met Swami. Ramana Maharshi , who did not teach yoga because it was in a state of Samadhi constantly, the radiated its state of fullness .
