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, that is laid out by the ancient Vedic texts of India. Atma yoga is the culmination of the yogic systems described in Sanskrit texts, such as the Bhagavad Gita, Bhagavata Purana, 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 the individual that he/she should not identify the body or the mind, because this can cloud the original soul nature or jiva from fulfilling its life purpose, known as (dharma).
