Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center NYC

The Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization run by voluntary staff and dedicated to the aim of disseminating the knowledge of yoga. We have been in continuous operation at its present location on West 24th Street in New York since 1964 - and have been teaching in NY since 1959. We are part of a world wide organization, the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres, founded by Swami Vishnu-devananda. A renowned authority on Hatha Yoga and Raja Yoga, Swami Vishnu-devananda was sent to the west by his Master, Swami Sivananda to spread the ideals of Yoga and Vedanta with the words 'people are waiting.'
