Are you seeking inner peace? Wanting to find purpose and meaning in life? Perhaps you have had questions about God, or are seeking a deeper understanding of spirituality. For 50 years, Ananda has offered support and friendship for spiritual unfoldment.
Mediation:
Ananda is one of the largest and oldest meditation centers in northern California. Skilled instructors with personal life-long practices will help guide you, from sitting comfortably to learning how to calm the mind and the heart. Whether your interest is meditation as a spiritual practice, or for stress reduction and health, you will feel at home in an Ananda meditation class. We offer both in-person and online classes.
Yoga: Ancient tools for self-mastery
Though most people think of yoga as physical postures, yoga is an ancient and powerful tool for spiritual development. The science of Raja Yoga is a comprehensive approach to life that includes meditation, postures, philosophy, devotional practices, healthy living, and much more. It helps us to develop inner strength, a calm, compassionate heart, and deepening awareness of our spiritual nature. We offer yoga postures classes, for greater health and flexibility.
Paramhansa Yogananda:
Our classes are based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the spiritual classic, Autobiography of a Yogi. Yogananda’s teachings are delightfully free of dogma; he encourages spiritual seekers to test the ideas he shares in the laboratory of their own lives.
Ananda’s primary goal is to help people achieve Self-realization. We offer classes, support, and inspiration to to all.
Join our group to explore deeper aspects of Yoga, meditation, Paramahansa Yogananda's teachings, and seek spiritual guidance. Whether you are interested in Hatha Yoga, seeking spiritual growth through Kriya Yoga, our group offers a platform for growth and self transformation. Come join us and embark on a journey towards Self-realization.
