Swami Sivananda (1887–1963) was one of the greatest spiritual teachers of modern India and founder of the Divine Life Society in Rishikesh.
He taught that spiritual life is not an escape from the world, but a conscious way of living within it.
“Serve. Love. Give. Purify. Meditate. Realise.”
A direct disciple of Swami Sivananda, he founded the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres worldwide.
He systematised the Five Points of Yoga and taught that yoga is a complete science of life.
Inner peace is the foundation of world peace.
Widely regarded as the father of modern yoga, he taught legendary students including B.K.S. Iyengar, Pattabhi Jois, Indra Devi, and T.K.V. Desikachar.
He adapted yoga for healing, therapy, and spiritual growth, shaping most contemporary yoga traditions.
Yoga adapts to the person — not the person to yoga.
Shivanan Yoga Shala was born from a simple realization: modern life has become fast, noisy, and disconnected from the self.
What began as a personal practice slowly became a shared space. A space to pause. To breathe. To return inward.
Here, yoga is not treated as fitness or performance. It is practiced as a way of living — steady, conscious, and deeply human.
“Yoga begins where the noise ends.”
To guide more people toward a balanced, aware, and healthy way of life.
We envision a world where yoga and meditation are not occasional escapes, but daily companions — helping individuals listen to their inner voice, care for their bodies, and live with clarity.
To offer accessible, traditional yoga and meditation that supports long-term physical health, mental calm, and inner growth.
We believe true transformation happens slowly — through consistency, discipline, and self-awareness.
There are no shortcuts. Only presence, practice, and time.
Sivananda Yoga Shala is led by a founder who lives the practice beyond the mat. Years of disciplined training and teaching experience inform an approach rooted in classical yogic values.
Teaching unfolds with patience and presence, honoring each individual’s rhythm. Progress is guided, not hurried — supported with respect and care.
Begin your practice with awareness.
