This school of yoga is associated with two prominent figures. It was developed by Swami Satchidananda, who came to prominence at the famed Woodstock Festival in 1969, and his student, Dr. Dean Ornish, who uses Integral Yoga as part of his treatment of heart patients.
Integral is a gentle Hatha Yoga practice which also places emphasis on pranayama (control of breath), Kriya Yoga, chanting (mantra) and meditation.
To avoid confusion, be aware that Integral Yoga is also the term used by Sri Aurobindo of Pondicherry India to refer to his teachings of the union of all the parts of one's being with the Divine, and the transmutation of all of one’s elements into a harmonious state of higher, Divine Consciousness. He describes the nature and practice of Integral Yoga in his opus The Synthesis of Yoga.
