World Yoga Center

World Yoga Center 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.

WYC Immersion Program
with Rudrani & Jacalyn
January - May 2026


Dear Beloved Community,

We are thrilled to announce the return of The Immersion Program — a transformative journey into the heart of Yoga.

The program meets one weekend each month for five months, beginning January 23 - May 17, 2026.

For those who have already experienced this sacred journey, you know the profound impact it can have on our lives. You’ve felt the transmission of wisdom through the teachings and you’ve been embraced by the Sangha — a community that continues to nurture and support long after the program concludes.

The Immersion, open to all students, marks the beginning of a deeper understanding of the core of Yoga. Together, we’ll explore the foundational teachings, deepen our Hatha practice, and connect with the vast and timeless wisdom of the Yoga tradition.

Throughout the immersion, expect profound internal shifts as the ancient teachings awaken us and become integrated into our innermost core. These teachings have survived the millennia and are potent in their ability to transform our lives. Supported by the practices, the community and guidance from the teachers, the Immersion becomes an especially powerful path of inner transformation.

Special Note for Returning Students & Graduates:
If you have previously taken the Immersion or completed the World Yoga Center Teacher Training, please reach out to inquire about tuition discounts available for those of you who are returning students.

Immersion Dates: The Immersion will take place over 5 weekends, one weekend per month:

Jan 23-25
Feb 20-22
Mar 20-22
Apr 17-19
May 15-17

Weekly Schedule:
Fridays: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Saturdays & Sundays: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Enrollment is now open, and space is limited.
For registration or further inquiries, please contact Jacalyn directly at 917-822-1120.

We would be deeply honored to have you join us for this expansive journey. Don’t miss the chance to be part of this moving train of transformation.

With much love,
Rudrani and Jacalyn

Reiki is the healing aspect of the supreme energy at the root of our very being, the potent beneficial force that flows through us all. Connecting to this energy through Reiki, as a practitioner and as a receiver, is a powerful tool for our own and others' healing.

Our Reiki Circle welcomes non-Reiki practitioners for the first hour. We will all be together for our opening meditation, and all will be able to offer names into the circle for healing. During this time, everyone will receive Reiki from Reiki practitioners. We will conclude with journaling and sharing.

The practice portion of our circle, 2-3:15, will be just for Reiki practitioners so that we may continue to practice our Reiki skills in community for the highest good of others.

Dear World Yoga Center Community Members, Yogis and Yoginis,

We are writing to invite your participation in a very special way – through your generosity.

So many World Yoga Center community members have helped the World Yoga Center transition to become a non-profit, and we thank you.

Our beautiful community has supported the school’s evolution and each other. You have meditated together, uplifted all of us with your yogic spirit when you come to class, joined our fundraising events, and showed your love, commitment, and financial support.

In this last month of 2025, we invite you to consider a gift toward our year end fundraising campaign.

In these times of radical change in our world, you are creating an environment of radical inclusion. Your generosity enables the school to continue to welcome people of all backgrounds, physical abilities and financial status, with ever fresh vigor. Your support sustains our free meditation classes and enables us to put in place other programming that is accessible and affordable.

Thank you for taking part in sustaining what has always made the school strong: the hidden presence one cannot see that lies at the very heart of our practices and lies at the very heart of Yoga. This is the Grace principle which flows through you and brings revelatory transformation. It pours into our lives and sustains us all in shared endeavor.

With full hearts of appreciation, we invite you to consider a gift of any size.

You can visit our website to find the donation page.

Thank you for your loving support,
The World Yoga Center Board of Directors: Rudrani, Julia, Eric, Nina, and Susan

Post-Celebration Gratitude
Celebrating the World Yoga Center and our Community!
November 22

This past Saturday, November 22nd, our community came together in person and online to celebrate the the WYC community.

We welcomed being in Satsang together, hearing from Rudrani and Julia about the potency inherent in our yoga, the unified awareness that we generate when we come together to engage in the practices. Then our Board of Directors, our teachers and our community members shared how they would describe the synergy we enjoy together as a community. We sailed into a truly beautiful chant, deep meditation, and celebrated Rudrani's 87th birthday with a delicious feast and Julia's homemade cake!
