What Is Ananda Encinitas?
Ananda Encinitas exists to help people grow spiritually. We honor the truths that are the heart of the great religions — that every soul must seek inward upliftment and Self-realization. These Truths, often referred to as Sanaatan Dharma (or Universal Truth) were taught by our Guru Paramhansa Yogananda.

Paramhansa Yogananda, (1893-1952) a true master of yoga and author of the spiritual classic 'Autobiography of a Yogi' dedicated his life to sharing the original yoga of India with the west. He also began a movement to create small communities where families and people in all stages of life could live together in harmony with high spiritual principals, in an environment of 'plain living and high thinking.' It is his non-sectarian teachings and those of his direct disciple Swami Kriyananda that we share and practice at Ananda Encinitas.



Ananda Encinitas is...

  • a joyful spiritual community of friends
  • a member of Ananda: worldwide network of meditation and yoga centers serving tens of thousands of people for nearly forty years
  • a place where people aspire to grow in wisdom, humility, compassion, and a sense of humor
  • a haven of peace
  • music, laughter, and fellowship
  • thoughtful people who are serious about their spiritual lives


“ It is a welcoming group that are open and do not judge your abilities or experience as well as religious beliefs. They claim they are practicing the religion of the universe...how great is that!? Casey is a great teacher taht's very knowledgable and personable.
— Troy, Encinitas

“This place and space is mystical! Come & see for yourself!”
— Joni Pradetto, San Diego

The teaching at Ananda Encinitas encompasses the essential truth of both of Western and Eastern spiritual disciplines, particularly the ancient, scientific practice of Raja Yoga from India and the original, mystic teachings of Christ.

“ This is unlike any other meditation I have ever attended. Casey prepares you to go into meditation with chanting to God and the name of God. ”
— Angela Good, Vista

Universal truths
The basis of this teaching is universal; all are welcome. Ananda Encinitas is more than a physical location. It is a state of mind: the consciousness of inner joy. It is a growing awareness of the presence of God, touching every aspect of our lives.
