Atma Yoga is a yoga system that draws its influences from Hatha yoga, Raja yoga and Bhakti yoga, but its primary concerns are yoga psychology and philosophy as laid out by the ancient Vedic texts of India. Atma yoga is the culmination of the yogic systems described in such Sanskrit texts as the Bhagavad Gita, Srimad Bhagavatam, Shiva Samhita and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika. The essence of Atma yoga is found in the Vedic philosophical conclusion of Achintya-Bheda-Abheda Tattva, or inconceivable oneness and simultaneous difference with the supreme. Atma yoga teaches that the individual should not identify with the body or the mind because this can cloud the original soul nature or jiva from fulfilling its life purpose (dharma).
