Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center

Description

The International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres, a non-profit organization founded in 1957 by Swami Vishnudevananda, continues the legacy of his teacher, H.H. Sri Swami Sivananda Saraswati Maharaj, one of the 20th century’s most influential spiritual leaders. Our mission is to share the timeless teachings of yoga and Vedanta, preserving the ancient traditions and wisdom that span thousands of years. We are committed to being a center of spiritual growth, where thousands of yoga teachers have been trained since 1963.

Our focus is to spread the authentic teachings of classical yoga by integrating the Four Paths of Yoga through the Five Points of Yoga, as taught by Swami Vishnudevananda. These teachings aim to promote physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, ultimately leading to Self-realization. At the heart of our philosophy is Swami Sivananda’s powerful belief: “an ounce of practice is worth tons of theory,” which we apply diligently in every aspect of our teachings. Many of our teachers are deeply dedicated to this path, choosing to live within the organization as renunciants or swamis, fully immersed in the study and practice of yoga.

With headquarters in Val Morin, Canada, the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres are represented in over 26 countries worldwide. In India, we offer four serene ashrams at Neyyar Dam (headquarters), Madurai, Uttarkashi, and Gudur, and five peaceful centers in Kailash Colony (New Delhi), Dwarka (New Delhi), Chennai, Madurai, and Trivandrum. Our ashrams serve as spiritual retreats where you can live, study, and practice yoga under the guidance of our experienced teachers. Our centers provide a tranquil oasis amid the busy city life, offering a space for relaxation, learning, and inner peace.
