The Sivananda Advantage

Our Holistic Path to Your Inner Peace

Yoga Practice at the Beach

Elevate Your Practice in Paradise

At the picturesque beaches of Paradise Island in the Bahamas, Sivananda Ashram offers the perfect location for solace and transformation. Imagine expanding your yoga practice while feeling the gentle caress of the ocean breeze and the warmth of the sun. This soothing environment allows you to deepen your connection to yourself and to nature. Within the sacred space of the Ashram, the physical and spiritual worlds converge, amplifying your practice and accelerating your journey to healing and enlightenment.

Rooted in Ancient Wisdom

Step into a world of deep learning, where the timeless legacy of Swami Sivananda, carried to the West more than 60 years ago by Swami Vishnudevananda, illuminates every lesson. Our Yoga Teacher Training Course includes the enlightened teachings of a lineage dating back to Adi Shankaracharya, and influenced by the profound Advaita Vedanta philosophy. We offer a meticulously curated journey of intellectual and spiritual elevation. Our holistic philosophy to Yoga nurtures healing and forms well-rounded practitioners and empowered teachers.

Experienced Swamis and Teachers

At Sivananda, you learn by becoming part of the Ashram community and participating in our yogic lifestyle. Embracing the Gurukula teaching tradition, you’ll live with, and learn from, our Swamis and teachers, sharing their wisdom and holistic yogic practice in an intimate experiential setting. When spending time with these inspiring teachers, every moment shared is a step towards true understanding of consciousness and your own true nature.
