Welcome to Ananda

If this is your first time at Ananda, start here. These courses are designed for newcomers: you don't need to have meditated before or to know the teachings.
For a weekend or a few days, you share the rhythm of community life, get a taste of its many sides, and meet the heart of what Paramhansa Yogananda brought to the West, as Swami Kriyananda lived it and passed it on.
You can begin with the weekend Welcome to Ananda!, or with the door that feels closest to you: learning to meditate, discovering the path of Kriya Yoga, bringing the joy of the teachings into everyday life.
Some courses are offered in Italian and English: you'll find the language on each course page. If you're not sure which course is right for you, or you need English for a course that doesn't list it, write to our reception: they'll gladly help you, and can sometimes arrange things differently.
