THE TEACHING

This program is part of the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres' teaching.
It is a nonprofit organization founded by Swami Vishnudevananda to spread the teachings of Vedanta worldwide.

Upon the instruction of his guru, Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh, India, Swami Vishnu-devananda headed to the West and began teaching throughout the United States in 1957. He established the first Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre in Montreal, Canada,
in 1959. There are now almost 80 Sivananda locations (ashrams, yoga centres, and affiliated centres) around the world.

The Yoga Teachers' Training course was established due to Swami Vishnudevananda’s vision for world peace. In 1967 he taught the first Yoga Teachers' Training Course in the West. Since then, over 25,000 teachers worldwide have graduated from this comprehensive training course. The Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres are recognized worldwide for teaching yoga authentically, preserving its purity and tradition, which dates back several thousand years.

The headquarters is the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Camp  
8th avenue Val Morin Quebec, Canada J0T 2R0

The course will be offered in English with simultaneous translation into Thai and Japanese.
