What we’re about

Ananda is a global movement based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of “Autobiography of a Yogi.” Ananda was founded in 1968 in northern California by Swami Kriyananda, one of Yogananda’s direct disciples trained and commissioned by him.

Yogananda’s teachings embrace the truths that underlie all great religions. People from all faiths and backgrounds are welcomed at Ananda.

Expand the sense of harmony in your life through ancient and effective techniques including meditation, Kriya Yoga, spiritually oriented Hatha Yoga, community, and divine friendship. We invite you to join us at our temple, yoga classes, meditation groups, and community to experience the joy of your own being.
