The ancient science of yoga has gained the respect of the modern medical community, thanks in great measure to the teachings of Integral Yoga founder Sri Swami Satchidananda. To explore yoga’s power to heal and to honor this yoga master, Integral Yoga Institute (IYI) of NYC will present the Enlightened Health Symposium: A Global Garland Event Celebrating the 100^th Birth Anniversary of Satchidananda on Saturday, October 18, at the New York Society for Ethical Culture, 2 West 64^th Street at Central Park West.

Featuring Dr. Dean Ornish, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Dr. Sandra Amrita McLanahan, Nischala Joy Devi, Dr. Timothy McCall and Michael Lerner—all leading luminaries in the fields of natural health and preventive medicine who were deeply influenced by Satchidananda’s teachings—the event will be hosted by Swami Ramananda, president of the IYI of San Francisco (and formerly of IYI of NYC).

The all-day celebration will include two panel discussions on the emerging field of yoga therapy and also feature the Enlightened Vegetarian Fair and Integral Yoga Expo. Yummy vegetarian and vegan samples and tastings will inspire you. You’ll also meet and learn from many innovative yoga teachers that have adapted Integral Yoga to serve a variety of populations and health conditions.

Come and learn how to maximize your own health and well-being and that of your clients and patients. You will have a wonderful and enlightening day!
