Further Information
Through Swami Sukhananda you can experience the authentic ancient teachings of Yoga first-hand. This gentle and intimate, yet profound, approach is unique in our experience. The teachings are brought to life through self-reflection (Svadhyaya) as taught by Swami Sivananda to his closest disciples in the Rishikesh Ashram. They are passed on through Swami Radha to Sukhananda who brings them to you today.
Swami Sukhananda’s workshops are accessible to all sincere seekers and often provide a valuable opportunity for yoga teachers to deepen their own understanding of the practical application of the ancient teachings of yoga in 21st Century western daily life.
