Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre

The founder of the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre, identified the five points of yoga as a comprehensive system for achieving physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

1. Proper Exercise (Asanas): The practise of yoga postures helps to increase flexibility, strength, and vitality in the body. Through regular practise, students develop a balanced and healthy body.

2. Proper Breathing (Pranayama): By learning different breathing techniques, students can control and increase their life force energy. This helps to purify the body and calm the mind.

3. Proper Relaxation (Savasana): The deep relaxation techniques taught in our classes help to reduce stress and tension, promoting overall well-being.

4. Proper Diet (Vegetarian): A vegetarian diet is encouraged at the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre, as it promotes compassion, health, and awareness.

5. Positive Thinking and Meditation: The practise of positive thinking and meditation helps to develop a calm, focused mind and cultivate inner peace.

At the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre in London, students can explore and expand on these five points of yoga through various programmes and events. The centre offers a wide range of yoga classes, from beginner to advanced levels, that emphasise proper breathing, flexibility, strength, and mental clarity. Our experienced teachers guide students through the practise, ensuring a supportive and non-competitive environment.

For those interested in deepening their practise and becoming certified yoga teachers, the centre offers a four-week Sivananda Yoga Teacher Training Course (TTC). This comprehensive programme provides participants with the knowledge and skills needed to teach and inspire others in the path of yoga. The certification earned from the TTC is internationally recognised and accepted by the Yoga Alliance.

In addition to regular classes and teacher training, the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre offers yoga retreats, providing an opportunity for individuals to step away from the demands of daily life and immerse themselves in the yogic way of living. These retreats cater to all levels of practitioners and offer a nurturing and supportive environment for self-reflection and rejuvenation.

Whether you are new to yoga or have an established practise, the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre in London warmly welcomes you to join their community. At the centre, you can explore the teachings of yoga, reconnect with yourself and others, and experience the transformative power of this ancient practise.
