The Aims and Objectives of the Birmingham Satyananda Yoga Centre are:

• To provide a meeting place for all the yoga-minded people of the West Midlands who, in some degree, identify with the teachings of Swami Satyananda.
• To provide the focus for a systematic communication network between teachers and practitioners, so that programmes & events may be better publicised and supported.
• To make available classes where the general public can gain a fuller understanding of the practice and philosophy of yoga.
• To make available a programme of classes, seminars and courses for those wishing a deeper understanding of yoga.
• To train teachers of yoga, in both the spirit and the body of yoga, so that they may  "Learn by doing, Teach by being".
• To promote the teachings of yoga in general, and of Swami Satyananda in particular, through the sale of books & the loan of books from the library.
• To provide a space where yoga people can come to be quiet and get in touch with themselves.
• To maintain and develop stronger links with other Satyananda Yoga Centres and the headquarters of the Bihar School of Yoga in India.
