Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center

Description

The International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres, established in 1957 by Swami Vishnudevananda, carry forward the profound legacy of his revered teacher, H.H. Sri Swami Sivananda Saraswati Maharaj—one of the most influential spiritual leaders of the 20th century. As a non-profit organization, our mission is to share the timeless wisdom of yoga and Vedanta, preserving these ancient traditions that date back thousands of years. We are a global center for spiritual growth, having trained thousands of yoga teachers since 1963.

Our focus is on spreading 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 foster physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, guiding practitioners toward Self-realization. Central to our philosophy is Swami Sivananda’s belief that “an ounce of practice is worth tons of theory,” a principle we uphold in all our teachings. Many of our teachers are fully devoted to this path, living as renunciants or swamis within the organization, deeply immersed in the practice of yoga.

With our headquarters in Val Morin, Canada, the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres are present in over 26 countries worldwide. In India, we offer four peaceful ashrams located in Neyyar Dam (our headquarters), Madurai, Uttarkashi, and Gudur, along with five centers in Kailash Colony (New Delhi), Dwarka (New Delhi), Chennai, Madurai, and Trivandrum. Our ashrams provide serene retreats where you can live, study, and practice yoga under the expert guidance of our teachers. Meanwhile, our centers offer an oasis of calm in bustling cities, creating a space for relaxation, learning, and inner peace.

Join us at our ashrams or centers and explore our wide range of courses and programs to embark on your own journey toward holistic well-being.
