GALLERY: HISTORY
The art and science of Yoga has been transmitted for thousands of years through great teachers, one to another. In this section are photos of Swami Sivananda, Swami Vishnudevananda and Yoga in Fort Lauderdale through the years. Here, a young Swami Vishnudevananda is shown with his guru, posing beside the Ganges in Rishikesh, India, before Swami Sivananda sent him to teach in the West.
GALLERY: CLASSICAL HATHA YOGA
We practice and teach Classical Hatha Yoga as it has been taught by a long lineage of teachers. Classes are open to all levels and include pranayama (breathing exercises), relaxation, and classical asanas (postures). Our instructors are dedicated to propagating yoga for the physical, mental and spiritual upliftment of all beings.
GALLERY: SATSANG
Meditating together in a group creates a strong spiritual energy that facilitates a deeper experience of meditation. Our satsang is offered the first and third Sunday of each month at 7pm. It starts with guided meditation followed by kirtan (call-and-response mantra chanting and music) and a short reading, all in the Sivananda tradition. Kirtan (chanting) books are provided to help you follow and participate. Beginners and members of all traditions welcome. This is a free event although donations are gratefully accepted.
GALLERY: COOKING WORKSHOPS
Proper diet is one of the “Five Points of Yoga” for health and happiness. Cooking workshops are fun, educational and emotionally gratifying. We follow the teachings of Ayurveda, the sister science of Yoga, which teaches how to live in harmony with the laws of nature. That includes cooking with healing herbs and spices, and knowing how different foods affect different people. Where do vegetarians get their protein, anyway?
GALLERY: SPECIAL EVENTS
In addition to our free meditation gatherings, we also offer occasional concerts and many other opportunities to deepen your practice. Some of our programs are offered at the Sivananda ashrams in the Bahamas and Upstate New York. Special classes at the YW, often featuring wonderful guest presenters, have covered such diverse subjects as chanting, meditation, Sanskrit and Ayurveda.
GALLERY: YOGA TEACHERS TRAINING COURSE
The four-week Yoga Teachers Training Course is offered at Sivananda ashrams all over the world. Join us for the December course in the Bahamas, where we be teaching the Hatha Yoga segment of the course.
