Or a cloudy day can bring on depression. Or maybe there is some unnecessary fear\, worry and anxiety that results in an inability to face difficulties. Twenty-three percent of us will suffer from some depressive symptoms in our lifetime. \nDepression consistently ranks among the most common health conditions self-treated with yoga. Classical yoga\, a comprehensive life discipline\, is easily adapted for a wide range of practitioners. It aims to harmonize body\, mind and spirit and to transcend suffering by developing an abiding awareness of one’s spiritual nature. \nSwami Sivananda\, trained as a medical doctor\, wrote a considerable amount on the topic of depression. We will go through his 18 practical hints\, spanning all areas of the yogic lifestyle. \nWe can touch on the areas of sleep\, energy\, appetite—and the mind. Swami Sivananda says\, “Do not listen to the promptings of the mind. Reject them ruthlessly.” \n. . . \nRegister\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *PhoneDonation *Yoga for Depression - $30.00Yoga for Depression (sliding scale) - $25.00Choose the donation amount that works best for you.How will you attend? *In personOnlineAdditional Donation*Your tax-deductible donations help to keep these classical Yogic teachings available for humanity!Stripe Credit Card *NameSubmit URL:https://sivanandala.org/program/yoga-for-depression/ LOCATION:Sivananda Yoga Los Angeles\, 1617 Broadway\, Suite C\, SANTA MONICA\, CA\, 90404\, United States CATEGORIES:Courses ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://sivanandala.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Depression400.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260628T081500 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260628T094500 DTSTAMP:20260619T151307Z CREATED:20201111T062155Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260619T151307Z UID:10000457-1782634500-1782639900@sivanandala.org SUMMARY:Meditation 1 Course (5 sessions) DESCRIPTION:With Swami Gangananda \nIN PERSON OR ONLINEOnline participants will be sent a Zoom link at least an hour before the first class. \nThis 5-session course meets weekly on Sundays for 90-minute sessions.

With the regular practice of pranayama—or controlling prana—you can store this energy in your brain and nerve plexi. You need an abundance of prana to be healthy and strong. Hatha Yoga has developed this to a science. \nIn this class\, we will practice kapalabhati and anuloma viloma (alternate nostril breathing)\, in addition to sun salutations and relaxation. Learn a safe practice you can do daily.  \n\nBalance and calm the mind.\nTone your body\, internal organs and digestion.\n\nSwami Sivananda says\, “A pranayama practitioner will have a light body free from disease\, very fair complexion\, a sweet melodious voice\, and pleasant smell from his body. He will have good appetite\, cheerfulness\, a handsome figure\, good strength\, courage\, enthusiasm\, a high standard of health\, vigour and vitality\, and good concentration of mind.” \nThe practice is easy and the benefits immediate.  \n. . . \nRegister\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *Phone *Yoga Experience?Please describe your yoga experienceHow did you hear about us?What do you hope to learn?Anything else we should know about you?Pranayama Practice *75-minute class - $20.00I would like to attend *in-persononlineTotal$0.00Stripe Credit Card *EmailSubmit URL:https://sivanandala.org/program/pranayama-practice/ LOCATION:Sivananda Yoga Los Angeles\, 1617 Broadway\, Suite C\, SANTA MONICA\, CA\, 90404\, United States CATEGORIES:Courses ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://sivanandala.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/PranayamaAV400.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260608T191500 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260608T201500 DTSTAMP:20260604T175506Z CREATED:20231106T010357Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260604T175506Z UID:10000974-1780946100-1780949700@sivanandala.org SUMMARY:Raja Yoga Sutras Course (5 sessions) DESCRIPTION:IN PERSON OR ONLINEOnline registrants will receive a Zoom link at least one hour before the first class. \nThis 5-session course meets weekly on Mondays\, starting June 860 minutes each session \nRaja Yoga is the royal Yoga path of mind control and meditation.

Prakriti is understood as the primal\, unmanifested energy that gives rise to the entire universe and all forms of existence. Over time\, Prakriti evolves into three distinct qualities or Gunas: Sattva (purity\, harmony)\, Rajas (activity\, passion)\, and Tamas (inertia\, darkness). These qualities interact and combine in various proportions to create the diverse manifestations of the universe. According to this philosophy\, human beings are also composed of three bodies: the Sthula Sharira (the physical body)\, the Sukshma Sharira (the subtle body\, including mind and emotions)\, and the Karana Sharira (the causal body\, representing the soul or deep consciousness). The evolution of Prakriti through the interplay of these three Gunas gives rise to these bodies\, which in turn influence human experience\, perception\, and consciousness. As a person progresses on the spiritual path\, understanding and transcending the interplay of the Gunas and the bodies leads to liberation\, or Moksha\, where the individual soul realizes its true nature beyond the material world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *PhoneHow will you join? *in persononlineTeachings on Peace *Theory of Hatha Yoga/Pranayama 5/24 - $25.00History of the Vedas 5/31 - $25.00Intro to Vedanta 6/7 - $25.00Additional Donation*Your tax-deductible donations help to keep these classical Yogic teachings available for humanity!Stripe Credit Card *WebsiteSubmit URL:https://sivanandala.org/program/evolution-of-prakriti-and-the-three-bodies/ LOCATION:3741 West 27th Street\, Los Angeles\, California\, 90018 CATEGORIES:Courses ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://sivanandala.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Prakriti800.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260316T050000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260320T060000 DTSTAMP:20260304T042141Z CREATED:20260304T042137Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260304T042141Z UID:10001148-1773637200-1773986400@sivanandala.org SUMMARY:5 Days of Pranayama (5:00am PDT) DESCRIPTION: \nWith Swami Gangananda \nIN PERSON OR ONLINE5 consecutive morning sessions\, Monday\, March 16–Friday\, March 205:00–6:00am PDTOnline registrants will receive a Zoom link at least one hour before the first class. \nPrana is the universal principle of energy or force. “Whatever moves or works or has life\, is but an expression or manifestation of prana.” Breath is the external manifestation of prana. With the regular practice of pranayama—or controlling prana—you can store this energy in your brain and nerve plexi. You need an abundance of prana to be healthy and strong. Hatha Yoga has developed this to a science. In this course\, we will introduce and practice kapalabhati and anuloma viloma (alternate nostril breathing)\, in addition to sun salutations and relaxation. Each class will include some theory\, a few sun salutations and pranayama practice\, with gradual increases over the week. Pranayama nurtures mental stability and a strong immune system. \nCommit to practicing regularly on your own\, or check out an archived session on IGTV any time. Follow us on Instagram at sivanandayoga_la \n \nCurriculum\n\nLearn a safe practice you can do daily\, building up the number of rounds at your own pace.\nWe will look at classic sitting positions and anatomy of breathing.\nBalance and calm the mind.\nTone your body\, internal organs and digestion.\nBuild your awareness of energy\, while consciously building\, storing\, purifying and chanelling prana.\n\nSwami Sivananda says\, “A Pranayama practitioner will have a light body free from disease\, very fair complexion\, a sweet melodious voice\, and pleasant smell from his body. He will have good appetite\, cheerfulness\, a handsome figure\, good strength\,  courage\, enthusiasm\, a high standard of health\, vigor and vitality\, and good concentration of mind.” The practice is easy and the benefits immediate. Cultivate discipline\, with the encouragement of the group practice. \nFeel free to add our 6:00am Satsang to your daily routine—in person or online—following the session on the same Zoom link. \n___________________________________________________________________________________ \nRegister\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *Phone *Comment or Message5:00am Morning Practice *5 sessions Yoga 3/9–13 - $90.005 sessions Yoga 3/9–13 (sliding scale) - $75.005 sessions Pranayama 3/16–20 - $90.005 sessions Pranayama 3/16–20 (sliding scale) - $75.00How will you attend? *in persononlineTotal$0.00Stripe Credit Card *Submit URL:https://sivanandala.org/program/5-days-of-pranayama-500am-pdt/ LOCATION:Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center Los Angeles\, 3741 West 27th Street1617 Broadway\, Suite C\, SANTA MONICA\, CA\, 90404\, United States CATEGORIES:Courses ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://sivanandala.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/PranayamaSwAm400.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260314T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260314T160000 DTSTAMP:20260225T174638Z CREATED:20260222T194750Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260225T174638Z UID:10001000-1773496800-1773504000@sivanandala.org SUMMARY:The Battlefield of Life: The Background of the Gita DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 14 • 2:00–4:00 pm PST \n\n\n\nWith Swami Gangananda \n\n\n\nIN PERSON OR ONLINEA Zoom link will be sent to online registrants at least an hour before the first class. \n\n\nThis class offers a thoughtful introduction to the historical\, cultural\, and spiritual background of the Bhagavad Gita\, exploring its setting within the epic Mahabharata and the deeper symbolism of the dialogue between Arjuna and Krishna.

All of the doshas can be found in everybody\, but the differing amounts—received at conception—determine a person’s constitution. \nYour constitution affects things such as your frame and musculature and joints; skin\, hair\, nails; quality of sleep; digestion and eating habits; and memory. Knowing your constitution is key to your health\, as it is essential for understanding which lifestyle is best suited to you.
