Radha Yoga Centres are based on the teachings
of Swami Sivananda Radha. She started the first centre
in Calgary in 1982 in response to her guru's instructions
to establish many centres of Light.
Courses focus on developing character and quality
in life. Yoga is more than a physical discipline. It
encourages the process of expanding awareness,
developing concentration, and bringing what we
learn into our daily lives.
"You can be what you
are. Just find out what you are. Ask yourself,
'who am I? Where do I want to go? What
do I want to make out of this life?'"
- Swami Radha |
We offer effective yoga practices--including self-inquiry,
mantra, dreams, Kundalini,
Hatha Yoga and sacred dance-because they have been
so helpful in our own lives. As teachers we are actively
involved in ongoing self-development and return frequently
to Yasodhara Ashram for renewal, updating and support. Read more
about our practices.
Radha Yoga Centres provide a spiritual community
in the city. Taking a class facilitates meeting others
of like mind, who are seeking deeper values in life.
In this setting, people can draw together and find
common ground--not by thinking the same way--but
by thinking deeply and supporting each other in their
pursuit of what is meaningful.
We are committed to yoga as selfless service. Class
fees are used not only to help sustain our own work,
but also to support the Young Adult
Program at Yasodhara Ashram and to help fund ascent
magazine, a not-for-profit yoga magazine. We
give back to the larger community through volunteering
and fundraising for local charities.
"It is a privilege to
serve those who seek the most High."
- Swami Radha |
Swami Radha intuitively wanted to keep classes small
at the Radha Yoga Centres so that people could receive
individual attention. Rather than building up the
Ashram into a large institution, she felt the Radha
Yoga Centres could help people stay in touch with
their ideals while living in the world.
Weekly classes keep the process of self-inquiry alive,
while Satsangs build community and encourage devotion.
"Devotion and sincerity
is what will carry you."
- Swami Radha |
