LTS: Ananda Yoga for Self-Healing
n.d.
Editions
Choose a specific edition for more informationDescription
According to Yogananda, the cause of all illness is due to an inadequate supply of vital life force (prana), and to blockages in the flow of prana. These blockages, in turn, are both physical - incorrect posture, muscular tensions, toxicity due to food and environmental pollution for example – and psychological – anxiety, worry, discouragement, depression, fear, anger and other emotional toxins, to mention a few.
Ananda Yoga was developed by Swami Kriyananda more than 50 years ago as a self-healing practice that deals specifically with both kinds of blockages. The combination of precise mental affirmations with certain yoga asanas, together with the practice of classic breathing exercises (pranayama), works to release blocked energies and enables the prana to flow more abundantly and harmoniously. Physical and psychological conditions can be improved, and by strengthening the immune system, the Ananda Yoga method helps to ward off seasonal sicknesses.
What you will experience during the course and can take home with you:
- short routines that will keep your body relaxed and resilient and your muscles flexible
- how to maintain a correct body alignment and healthful posture
- breathing exercises to help you quickly overcome emotional reactions
- meditation practices that you can do at home or during the day to achieve mental calmness and clarity

Opportunity
Next time you come to Ananda, sign up for the program Yoga in Action to get a taste of community service and receive a discount on the cost of the course. You can choose the option Yoga in Action for any course where this program is available and you can continue with this option as long as you wish. Your service project might change each day.
When we learn to serve with the right attitude, this is a spiritual practice and is called Karma Yoga. The daily practice of Karma Yoga is a joyful and practical spiritual discipline that will benefit every aspect of your life.
At Ananda, there are two levels of the Yoga in Action option:
Yoga in Action Level 1
75€/course of 5 days
With Level 1, you will serve for a period of one and a half hours. This experience gives you a chance to contribute to the beautiful atmosphere of Ananda.
Yoga in Action Level 2
35€/course of 5 days
Yoga in Action Level 2 is only available if you have had prior experience of the Yoga in Action Level 1 option, or any of the Community Living Programs. With Level 2, you will serve for a period of three hours, split into two periods of daily service.
