The teachings of the Sivananda Yoga Centres originate from a classical yogic lineage rooted in the spiritual insights of Swami Sivananda (1887–1963), a renowned Indian yoga master. The essence of his teachings is to "serve, love, give, purify, meditate and realize."
His disciple, Swami Vishnudevananda (1927–1993), was entrusted with bringing these teachings to the West. He systematized the teachings into five principles for healthy living: proper exercise, proper breathing, proper relaxation, proper diet, and positive thinking and meditation.
Founder: Swami Vishnudevananda, est. 1957
