Key Vedic Scriptures Followed in Sanatan Yoga Teachings
Sanatan Yoga is the holistic path that integrates body, mind, and spirit.
Whilst the wisdom that it's comprised of comes from many different texts. For example, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and Hatha Yoga Pradipika are often considered the main texts, a complete understanding of Sanatan Yoga draws from many sacred scriptures. These texts provide guidance on philosophy, meditation, ethics, postures, breathwork, and spiritual practices.
