What is Ananda Yoga?
Founded in 1968 by Swami Kriyananda, from the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, Ananda Yoga is a gentle, inwardly directed physical, mental and spiritual approach.
Ananda Yoga pairs yoga poses with internal affirmations and uses unique 'Energization Exercises.' Ananda teachers don't see yoga poses as fixed, instead they are fitted to the needs and abilities of each student.
Ananda Yoga brings yoga back to its traditional essence of spirituality.
This style of yoga seeks to raise your level of consciousness by reinforcing the meditative element of yoga poses. In doing so, Ananda Yoga is also designed to bring your mind, body and soul into harmony.
