Sivananda Yoga Centre Chennai

Sivananda Yoga Centre Chennai "Health is wealth, Peace of mind is happiness, Yoga shows the way." Swami Vishnudevanand The mission - to spread peace, health and joy through yoga.

The International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres is a non-profit organization named after Swami Sivananda, one of the most influential spiritual teachers of the 20th century and founded by his disciple Swami Vishnudevananda. All are welcome to come to our ashrams and centres to learn not only about how yoga can help maintain a healthy body but also how yogic philosophy, applied in daily life, can help maintain a peaceful mind and spirit. In 1957, Swami Vishnudevananda on instructions from his guru, Swami Sivananda, came to the West to bring the teachings of yoga. He established the first Sivananda Yoga Vedanta centre in Montreal, Canada, in 1959 and to date there are close to 60 Sivananda locations (ashrams, yoga centres and affiliated centres) around the world. Over 26,000 teachers have been trained in the TTC programs. The Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Ashrams and Centres are recognized worldwide for teaching yoga authentically, preserving its purity and tradition dating back several thousand years. They also offer a wide range of programs and even the possibility for spiritual growth through Karma yoga as a temporary or full time staff program participant. Swami Vishnudevananda made the yogic teachings understandable and available to all by simplifying them into five points, showing specific ways to develop physical and mental health as well as spiritual growth through ~ Proper Exercise (Asanas), Proper Breathing (Pranayama), Proper Relaxation (Savasana), Proper Diet (vegetarian), Positive Thinking (Vedanta) and Meditation (Dhyana). Together with Swami Sivananda's revival of the yoga of synthesis tradition, which integrates the four paths of Yoga (Karma, Bhakti, Raja, Jnana), a well-balanced Sadhana (spiritual discipline) is achievable by those sincerely seeking for a change in their lives.

Our thoughts may be more powerful than we imagine.

In Bliss Divine, Swami Sivananda reminds us that “Thoughts move with tremendous velocity.”

Thoughts of hatred, jealousy, greed, lies, revenge and malice create unrest, while healing, compassionate, generous, sublime and Universal loving thoughts help others.
Perhaps the quality of our thoughts is one of the greatest contributions we make to the world.
📖 From Bliss Divine by Swami Sivananda Saraswati.
Save this as a gentle reminder to watch the thoughts you cultivate each day. 🌿

Breath & Beyond
Traditional Yogic Breathing for Modern Life

When was the last time you truly breathed?

Our lives have never been more connected, yet our minds have never been more distracted.

A constant stream of notifications. Endless scrolling. Back-to-back meetings. Screens from morning until night. Over time, the mind becomes overstimulated, attention begins to scatter, sleep feels less restorative, and even moments of silence become unfamiliar.

Without realizing it, the breath changes too. It becomes shallow, hurried, and irregular.

The ancient yogis observed this long before the modern world existed. They taught that the breath and the mind move together. When the breath is restless, the mind is restless. When the breath becomes calm, the mind naturally follows.

Breath & Beyond is a gentle introduction to the timeless science of Pranayama, carefully adapted for modern living. In just 30 minutes a day, discover traditional yogic breathing techniques that can help restore clarity, improve concentration, reduce mental fatigue, and cultivate a deep sense of inner calm.

Whether you are a student preparing for examinations, a professional navigating demanding workdays, a parent balancing countless responsibilities, or simply someone longing to reconnect with yourself, this workshop offers practical tools that you can carry into everyday life.

🕉️ 3-Day Workshop
🌿 30 Minutes Each Day
✨ Traditional Yogic Breathing
🤍 Suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike

“Control of the breath is self-control. It is the key to health, longevity and peace of mind.”
— Swami Sivananda

Health is Wealth. Peace of Mind is Happiness. Yoga Shows the Way.

Om Namah Shivaya.

🕊️ Monday Reflection | Ahimsa

“The first step in the regeneration and divinisation of man is Ahimsa.” — Swami Sivananda

Every act of non-violence begins in the mind. When our thoughts become pure, our words become gentle, and our actions naturally express compassion.

The practice of Ahimsa is not limited to avoiding harm, it is a conscious way of living that nurtures peace within ourselves and in the world around us. As we begin this new week, let us strive to cultivate kindness, patience, and understanding in every interaction.

🕉️ Health is Wealth. Peace of Mind is Happiness. Yoga Shows the Way.
