The Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center was founded in
1959 by Swami Vishnu-devananda. The teachings at the
center are based on the philosophies of Swami Vishnu-devananda
and his teacher Master Swami Sivananda and focus on health
and happiness through the practice of yoga. The center
offers daily open classes for beginner, intermediate, and
advanced students, in addition to prenatal classes and
classes for seniors. Along with postures and asanas,
chanting, meditation, and positive thinking are an integral
part of each class. The center holds daily satsangs every
morning and on some evenings for all to attend. The
Sivananda Center in Manhattan works closely with the
Sivananda Ashram Yoga Ranch located in the Catskills.
Students are encouraged to take advantage of yoga vacations,
workshops, and lectures held at the ashram. |
