Our sessions are open to everyone, regardless of their experience level or background. Ananda welcomes beginners who are just starting their journey into yoga and meditation, as well as advanced practitioners seeking to deepen their practice. We believe that yoga and meditation are for everyone, and our instructors are skilled at providing modifications and support to ensure that each participant can practice comfortably and safely.

Ananda’s inclusive community is designed to support individual growth while fostering a sense of belonging and connection. Our diverse range of programs and workshops ensures that there is something for everyone, from gentle yoga classes and beginner meditation sessions to advanced spiritual courses. By participating in Ananda’s sessions, you will join a welcoming and nurturing environment where you can explore your spiritual path at your own pace.

Ananda offers a wide range of classes tailored to meet the diverse needs and interests of our community. Our yoga classes include Hatha Yoga, Restorative Yoga, and specialized sessions such as Yoga for Stress Relief and Yoga for Flexibility. Each class is designed to enhance physical well-being, increase flexibility, and promote relaxation and mindfulness.

In addition to yoga, we offer various meditation classes and workshops. These include guided meditations, mindfulness practices, and advanced courses in Kriya Yoga, a powerful technique for spiritual awakening taught by Paramhansa Yogananda. Our meditation programs are designed to help you develop a consistent practice, deepen your inner peace, and cultivate a greater sense of spiritual awareness.

No, you do not need to belong to any specific religion to join Ananda. Our community is open to people of all faiths and spiritual backgrounds. Ananda’s teachings are based on universal principles that can be applied by anyone, regardless of their religious beliefs. We respect and honor the diverse paths that individuals may follow and provide a welcoming environment for everyone to explore their spiritual journey.

Ananda is inspired by the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, but it is not exclusive to any one religion. Our practices and teachings are designed to complement and enhance your existing spiritual beliefs, whatever they may be. We encourage openness, inclusivity, and a shared pursuit of inner peace and spiritual growth.

Most of our classes are donation-based. Some workshops and all retreats have a recovery fee to cover costs. Ananda operates as a non-profit organization, and all contributions are used to support our mission and maintain our temple.

We strive to make our programs accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. If you are unable to afford a suggested donation or fee, please let us know, and we can give you more information regarding our Karma Yoga Program. Our goal is to provide a supportive environment where everyone can benefit from our teachings and community.
