The Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre, Chennai, is a premier spiritual institution dedicated to the preservation and teaching of classical Hatha Yoga. Founded in 1989 as a branch of the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres, it follows the lineage of Swami Sivananda and his disciple, Swami Vishnudevananda. Located in the peaceful neighborhood of Kottivakkam, the center serves as an urban sanctuary for those seeking physical health and mental clarity.
The center’s teachings are anchored in the Five Points of Yoga: Proper Exercise (Asanas), Proper Breathing (Pranayama), Proper Relaxation (Savasana), Proper Diet (Vegetarian), and Positive Thinking & Meditation (Vedanta). By emphasizing these pillars, the center provides a holistic approach to well-being.
Activities include structured courses for beginners, open classes for advanced practitioners, and specialized sessions for children and seniors. Weekly Satsangs—featuring meditation and chanting—foster a sense of community. Operated largely by dedicated volunteers (Karma Yogis), the center maintains a serene, non-competitive environment focused on spiritual growth.
