Yasodhara Yoga Philadelphia

Rooted in the teachings of Swami Sivananda Radha, Yasodhara Yoga Philadelphia offers Kundalini Yoga, Dream Yoga, and Hidden Language Hatha Yoga. We welcome adults of all ages, abilities, and spiritual traditions. Classes focus on making spirituality practical in everyday life, while helping students discover their true potential.

Personal reflection is at the heart of Yasodhara Yoga. Reflection awakens awareness, illuminates the self, and kindles spiritual growth. For this reason, we ask you to bring a journal to all classes and workshops.

“The world that we are living in now needs healing – the healing qualities of positivity, silence, relaxation, care, compassion and cooperation. We need to consciously access the will to bring healing forces into the world in which we live and into ourselves.”– Swami Radhananda

She entered in to the Yasodhara teachings with a leap of faith when she left her job in Chicago to attend the YDC in 2016, having never traveled to the ashram before.

Yasodhara Yoga Lantana, Florida

Yasodhara Hatha yoga classes focus primarily on the physical experience of holding asanas or yoga poses. This class is guided by the instructor while giving ample time for personal practice and self-adjustment. Occasional questions from the instructor lead to development of poses, techniques and positive self-reflection.

In addition to the healing benefits emphasized in this class, it also intends to enhance awareness and expand consciousness making it a suitable class for preparation to meditation.

Class and satsang offerings

Sundays Weekly: Yasodhara Hatha Yoga is conveniently held in the upper room of the Finland House social club where there is ample room for up to 15 students. For larger occasions, yoga classes have been held in the ballroom that can fit over 100 people and where there is a wonderful wood floor that is great for Hatha practice.

Announced in class, occasional satsangs are held when Swamis visit, or during the summer by the instructor.
