Yasodhara Yoga Vancouver

Namaste! We are a group of certified teachers and students in Vancouver practicing yoga in the tradition of Yasodhara Ashram, founded by Swami Sivananda Radha in 1963.

Yasodhara spiritual practices can help you increase self-awareness, experience greater well-being and live in alignment with your ideals.

If you are in the Vancouver area and want to learn more about our community and how to attend the events below, please contact us. If you would like to speak to one of us on the phone, let us know in your e-mail and we will happily arrange a call with you!

Class and Satsang Offerings

WEEKLY SATSANGS

Satsang, often translated as “In the company of the wise” is a time where we gather together in community, whether online or in-person. Spiritual practices, uplifting bhajans (devotional music) and inspiring words are shared.
We currently have one satsang offering. There is no charge to attend.

WORKSHOPS

Join us for our monthly two hour Sunday workshops, each offering a deep dive into a unique theme—from Loving Kindness and Mantra Yoga to Healing and Divine Mother. Each session is lovingly guided by different Yasodhara Yoga teachers, creating a rich variety of perspectives and practices.

Teachers

Lisa Sars

Lisa entered into Yasodhara Teachings in 2011 at a Rose Ceremony held at the Radha Yoga & Eatery in Vancouver, BC. The heartfelt devotion of the ritual blossomed into a lifelong love of the Teachings, with an affinity for the art of reflection. A mother of two living in the city, she made time for her commitment to evolve, taking all of the teacher trainings and returning to the Ashram yearly. In her work as an education assistant with over a decade of experience in the Arts, she tends to the relationship between practicality and profundity.

Eva Snyder

Eva came to the Ashram in 2011 as a Karma yogi and stayed on for 1.5 years, completing the YDC in 2012. Her love of the teachings and the Ashram is best summarized in her key phrase for her 2012 book reflections — interconnection.

She finds inspiration in the connections between Swami Radha’s faith teachings, all traditional faith teachings, and science; the way that all can contribute to ways of navigating information and finding wisdom and meaning in life.

She is currently writing her PhD dissertation at the University of British Columbia on mycorrhizal fungal connections in Western redcedar communities and the implications for forest energy flow and resilience. She returns to the Ashram regularly to recharge, refill, and re-enlighten and is honored to call this place her spiritual home.
