The World Yoga Center welcomes students of all ages, traditions and backgrounds, at every level of ability. We are very proud of the World Yoga Center.

Through the Yoga practices, students embark on a transformative journey of awakenment while developing bodies that glow with health. Decades after we opened our doors in 1972, we are still here at our original address. Only Yoga has been practiced in our beautiful space and the atmosphere here is unusually pristine and serene. The name ”World Yoga Center” was inspired by the International World Yoga Symposium held in New Delhi, India, in 1970. Our name reminds us that the teachings and practices of Yoga are universal, embrace divisions of East and West, and have become compatible with modern living. Yoga provides transformational knowledge that radically awakens us to the mystery of life. This underlying vision and the deep intention of Yoga sustain the World Yoga Center and drive it forward.

Take Your Practice Deeper
Vibrant Living Program with Jacalyn and Rudrani

The real transformation happens when we begin to integrate these yoga practices into our daily lives. As we cultivate greater awareness of the body, breath, mind, and our daily self-care habits, we develop the capacity to meet life with greater resilience, wisdom, and ease.

Over time, these practices become tools we can lean on—not only when life feels challenging or uncertain, but also as we move through times of growth, change, and discovery.

This 10-week program is also a wonderful preparation for the Anusara Yoga Immersion taught by Rudrani and Jacalyn, beginning in January 2027.

Sunday mornings: 9:30–10:45 AM ET
Online (Zoom) for 10 weeks
Begins October 25th
