Ananda Sacramento

Ananda was founded in 1969 by Yogananda’s direct disciple, Swami Kriyananda. Yogananda’s non-sectarian teachings embrace the eternal truths that underlie all the great religions. People from all faiths and backgrounds are welcome at Ananda.

Ananda encourages all to expand their sense of harmony, and increase their experience of God’s loving presence in their lives. This is attained through the practice of ancient and timeless techniques which Yogananda streamlined and made scientifically effective for modern life, including meditation, Kriya Yoga, spiritually oriented Hatha Yoga, affirmations, loving community, and divine friendship.
