Corporate Wellness

Rooted in classical yoga teachings, the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center (SYVC) offer programs and trainings for self-healing and personal transformation that celebrate community, connection, and natural living. We synthesize the ancient wisdom of Yoga into five basic principles: proper exercise, proper breathing, proper relaxation, proper diet, and positive thinking and meditation. A healthier lifestyle allows us to slow down, combat distraction and be present. Yoga is universal. Everyone wants to evolve. Our true nature is Peace.

We build custom programs according to your needs—either at your workplace or onsite at our Center in Los Angeles, located in historic West Adams.

AT YOUR LOCATION

For a yoga class, we would need a large, bright, ventilated room, large enough for participants to space their yoga mats at least 12 inches apart. It would need to be fairly quiet.

(People taking part in the class should wear comfortable, preferably cotton clothing. Note that it is best to practice yoga on an empty stomach.)

Participants—or the workplace—will need to supply their own mats, if possible. SYVC can bring a maximum of six mats and six cushions. Most people will need a cushion to elevate their hips to sit on the floor comfortably.

AT OUR FACILITY

Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center
3741 W 27th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90018

Housed in a Mission Revival home built in 1914 on a half-acre lot, SYVC provides a peaceful retreat environment. There is a grassy front and back yard, plus an 800+sf outdoor yoga deck under a canopy of trees. There are charming indoor classrooms and a commercial kitchen. We are able to provide vegetarian meals and can adapt to special dietary needs. There is free parking behind the building.

FEES
We reserve the right to quote your program based on actual details discussed. As a guide, we charge a minimum of $300 for a 45–60-minute class for a group of 10–25 people and $350 for 26-40 (or possibly 50). It would be most beneficial to have an assistant teacher if over 25 attendees. A surcharge may apply based on our travel distance.

TESTIMONIAL
