Om Namashivaya...
A calm mind begins with a steady breath.

Even 30 minutes of conscious Pranayama can support better immunity, mental clarity, and emotional balance.

This traditional pranayama practice is designed for those who care deeply about their health, yet live full, demanding lives.

Simple, precise, and deeply restorative, it helps you reconnect with the most essential function of life: breathing well.

No exhaustion. No complexity. Just awareness.

Meditation Demystified
A practical introduction to meditation for the modern mind

Meditation is often spoken about in many different ways. Some see it as a quick tool for stress relief. Others think it means stopping thoughts or withdrawing from the world. Many feel it is too difficult to begin.

Meditation Demystified is a five day introductory course that places meditation clearly in the Yogic tradition and makes it accessible for modern life. The sessions combine clear explanation, guided practice, and space for questions, so that participants can understand and experience meditation in a simple and steady way.

This course is lead by Prahlada, Acharya of Sivananda India and direct disciple of Swami Vishnudevananda, with over forty years of teaching experience in the Sivananda Yoga tradition.

Om Namashivaya!

Not every hour of the day carries the same sanctity.
Some moments pass quietly;
Brahmamuhurta arrives with a rare stillness.

Before the mind gathers its worries, before the noise of the world begins, there exists a timeless interval when one’s inner awareness is naturally elevated.

It is within this sacred window that our practice unfolds.

Pranayama & Dhyana @ Brahmamuhurta (Online)

A three-day guided programme exploring traditional yogic breathing and meditation-
accessible from the comfort of your home, yet rooted firmly in the classical Sivananda tradition.

This online immersion is ideal for those seeking mental clarity, inner steadiness and a deeper spiritual foundation amidst the pace of modern life.

Practices include:
•⁠ ⁠Kapalabhati : cleansing and energising
•⁠ ⁠Anuloma Viloma : harmonising the breath and mind
•⁠ ⁠Bhramari : inducing quietude
Followed by Dhyana, when the mind is naturally more receptive and inward turned.

🗓️ 19th – 21st December 2025
⏰ 5:00 – 6:00 AM IST
💛 Contribution: ₹2,000 (~24 USD)
📍 Online Session

This is not merely a course.
It is a gentle reset of the inner rhythm.

Om Namah Sivaya
Blessed Sivananda India Community

Mark your calendars!

From December 2026 to December 2027 we celebrate the 100th birth anniversary of Swami Vishnudevananda ji Maharaj and we invite you to be a part of it.
We are excited to announce events planned for each month of that year, culminating in Swamiji's birthday celebration on December 31, 2027. To honour Swamiji's teachings and life's work we plan to realise his vision for a Sivananda teacher in each district of India and an Affiliated Centre in each state.

Our Guru Swami Vishnudevanandaji started his journey in the west, as directed by his guru Swami Sivananda. His vision was to bring the ancient and traditional teachings of Yoga and Meditation into every home and each individual to create peace and happiness. However, he always maintained a dream to bring yoga to everyone in his motherland. During his lifetime Swamiji successfully founded centres and ashrams which are now thriving with activities for spiritual seekers.

We are now trying to realise his dream of providing greater access to yoga within India by appointing Sivananda teachers in each district and Affiliated Centres in each state of India. We invite all Sivananda Teachers and close devotees from different parts of India to help us identify teachers and Affiliated Centres using your present connections within the community. As a first step we have started a Teachers' Directory at: teachers.sivanandayoga.org/centres , and now we are partnering with Geton.Yoga to facilitate this opportunity for eligible Teachers.

Please visit our websites and social media platforms for announcements throughout the year as plans take shape to celebrate Swami Vishnudevanandaji's teachings and his life's work. You can find updates here sivanandayoga.org/vishnuswami100

Centenary celebrations are fast approaching and we need lots of volunteers to help execute these plans and determine how to go forward. If you'd like to be part of it please contact vishnuswami100@sivananda.org.in

Thanking you, May Master and Swamiji's blessings be with you always.

Prahlada,
Yoga Acharya
