Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center

Classical Yoga in Chicago, since 1972

The Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center has been teaching timeless, classical yoga, at its present Chicago location on West Bryn Mawr Avenue since 1972.  It is part of a larger worldwide organization, the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres,  founded by Swami Vishnudevananda, a renowned authority on Yoga.  Swami Vishnudevananda was sent from India to the West by his Guru, Swami Sivananda, to spread the ideals of Yoga and Vedanta with the words: “people are waiting.”

  • "Health is wealth.
    Peace of mind is happiness.
    Yoga shows the way."

    – Swami Vishnudevananda

Our Teachings

The Five Points of Yoga

By closely observing the lifestyles and needs of people in the West, Swami Vishnudevananda synthesized the ancient wisdom of Yoga into five basic principles that can easily be incorporated into our own lifestyles to provide the foundation for healthy living. It is around these five principles that the activities at the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center are based.
