TheYoga Center of Aube, France

Comprised of four old stone houses surrounded by trees, green spaces and flower gardens, the center provides for the needs of modern life while maintaining the simplicity of yogic life. The atmosphere both peaceful and replenishing inspires everyone to pursue their inner journey and to realize the yoga vision in daily life. Within this framework, the activities of the Gyana Association and Swam Editions circulate the teachings of Satyananda Yoga spred by Bihar School of Yoga and Bihar Yoga Bharati. The Aube Center is affiliated to the International Yoga Fellowship Movement, a philosophical organisation supervising the Satyananda Yoga Teachings.

The Yoga Center of Aube operates according to yogic principles wherein each individual is considered as an active participant and not as a guest. The aim is to find a way allowing each participant to imbibe yogic principles and philosophy and to integrate them in their own life. In this technologically advanced world, with its stressful pace and sense of isolation, the center's life style offers a way to reconnect with subtle personal foundations for a better relationship with ourselves and others. The program includes yoga courses, teacher training course, specialized yoga trainings and yoga retreats. Each activity is structured in such a way as to create links between the collective yoga practices, time spent in communal activities and bhakti yoga periods. In this context, one can find a balance between head, heart and hands - intellect, feelings and action. The objective is to associate a greater inner awareness gained by yogic practices with the expression of a dynamic life, in order to ultimately "live yoga" and not only to practise it.
