Ministers offer service through teaching and conducting classes, workshops, retreats, and programs on the teachings and practices of Integral Yoga. Additionally, Integral Yoga Ministers provide the following services:
About
Sri Swami Satchidananda founded the Integral Yoga Ministry on July 19, 1980 when he ordained seven ministers under the auspices of Satchidananda Ashram-Yogaville in Santa Barbara. Shortly thereafter, twenty-two ministers were ordained at Satchidananda Ashram-Yogaville, Virginia. The ministry was inspired by the selfless example of the Integral Yoga sannyasis (monks). It created a pathway for non-monastic Integral Yoga students to deepen and formalize commitments to dedicate their lives to the service of others.
