Satyananda Yoga Centre was established by a team of qualified Yoga professionals trained in Yogic Studies at Bihar Yoga Bharati (BYB) at Bihar School of Yoga (BSY) in Munger, India. BYB is the first Yoga University of its kind in the world.

The Centre follows the BSY/BYB method of teaching, founded by Swami Satyananda Saraswati, a direct disciple of Swami Shivananda of Rishikesh.

Swami Satyananda promoted the most profound and holistic aspects of Yoga, covering body, mind, emotions, intellect, spirit and karma.  He was the first to widely popularize and spread the therapeutic effects of Yoga.
