Reaching out in these tough times
Online Courses
We have been teaching Satyananda Yoga since the year 2000, and yoga since 1993, We always avoided teaching yoga through videos and through any portal like SKYPE or video conferencing. We ourselves are unable to believe that we have been offering our courses, from beginner’s level to Seva Shibiram, online since the pandemic started in 2019 in India. It has been one of the most productive times in our teaching, that we have helped people from all over the world and from many parts of India, since 2019!
We have gone ahead and subscribed to an online conference platform offered by an internationally prevalent company and the quality of these classes, which we were initially doubtful about, have turned out to be a great boon to people who would otherwise have no opportunity for such authentic and genuine experience from a tradition!
Our Next Online Introductory Session will happen on 16th October, Sunday 2022 at 6.15pm.
You can connect with us by email hariom@syctchennai.org or WhatsApp

“Regular practice is the primary prerequisite for success in Yoga”
The greatest challenge for an adult is to identify the time and space regularly for the practice of Yoga, by themselves!
At Satyananda Yoga Centre, the courses are designed in such a way that the learning is “A little at a time” that can be assimilated by regular practice, followed by further learning.
“Development of Self Awareness & Awakening of the hidden potential is the approach to the experience of yoga”
Systematic practice and expanded states of awareness allow one to awaken the hidden energy & manifest it in daily life as Creativity, Enthusiasm, and Empowerment. These result in faultless thinking and clutter free mind and disease free body.
The courses are designed to gradually expand ones awareness from the grosser planes to the subtle plane & then develop the awareness that one is the awareness and not the things one is aware of. “Learning is Progressive”
In yogic learning there is a gradual transformation of the whole being. The body, mind, intellect, emotions, the energy; every part of the person engaging in yoga go through transformation.
Each small movement can be a great leap in life with respect to that dimension of one’s personality. The process of evolution is set in motion.
The courses conducted by Satyananda Yoga Centre, Chennai are planned carefully to give the time and space for the aspirant to adjust to the emerging changes.
After a long time, we have rolled out once again a Children Yoga Course at Satyananda Yoga Centre. It is a completely fun filled yoga program that challenges, prods, encourages your child to explore the wonderful ways of understanding the body-mind-energy complex and making full use of the great gift of life!
Our course for children will be held on every Sunday from 9.30am to 10.30am. the course will be conducted by teachers who are filled with wisdom and enthusiasm and are systematically trained to make the learning of yoga total fun.
If you wish to enroll your child in the course, kindly fill out this form and submit it
Children enjoy and participate in any activity that is full of fun, if it is stimulating and satisfying. Any activity that allows them to use their freedom, does not interfere with their curiosity is welcome by them.
Shivarishi
The yoga program developed by teachers of Satyananda Yoga Centre, under the guidance of Sannyasi Shiva Rishi, based on the teachings of Sri Swami Satyananda and the luminaries of the Satyananda Yoga tradition, has been effectively introduced in several city schools for more than a decade! Our course our course is very popular with children who have attended them.
Every year more than 10000 children have received our specially designed courses and benefited from the simple and unique yoga course for children!
Our efforts to reach out to schools, orphanages, Veda Patasalas, Delinquent rehabiliation centers, Children wards of hospitals, Institutes for exceptional children, has given us rich and fulfilling experience of teaching yoga in the most interesting manner to children from all backgrounds.

SYC & SYECT have taken several initiatives to make YOGA enjoyable to children
You can be inspired by reading through some of the initiatives we have taken for children here
Satyananda Yoga Centre has been a pioneer in introducing yoga in education! We have taken numerous efforts in the last fifteen years to bring the wisdom of yoga into the education stream. We had the opportunities to make lakhs of children look up to YOGA with hope and joy!
Through several initiatives, in collaboration with private educational institutions and with government run educational institutions, almost a lakh and fifteen thousand children have been introduced to yoga in an enjoyable manner, during the decade of 2005 to 2014!
We were able to let children have an enjoyable experience of Yoga and come to the conclusion that, “YOGA is FUN!”
One may be a great practitioner of asanas, or capable of demonstrating the most complex and advanced asanas! One may be able to explain all the scientific facts behind every practice. These things cannot hold the child even for a moment to consider YOGA as FUN!
Teaching Yoga to children and teaching yoga to adults are completely different things and require totally different skill and knowledge sets! We have trained twenty teachers in handling yoga classes for children in the most interesting manner.
Read through the different contributions we have made so far in the sections given below

Satyananda Yoga Teacher Training
Discipleship, Intuition, Insight and Inspiration are the qualities required to become a teacher of the Satyananda Yoga tradition.
Yogic, Tantric and Vedic wisdom are an endless ocean. Gratitude and prayerfulness are the final feeling one gets, when properly exposed to this wisdom.
A Yoga teacher is very much aware of the vastness of the scriptural and practice traditions. Having exposed to the wisdom through their Acharyas and Masters, the feeling a teacher remains in, forever is that of HUMILITY.
The teachers at Satyananda Yoga Centre are not yoga professionals. They are actual testimonials that prove the efficacy of Yoga, they are the proof of Guru’s grace flowing in people’s lives. Being touched by the spirit of seva and samarpan, they have humbly offered their seva to touch more lives.
It has been a delightful experience for Satyananda Yoga Centre & its founder Shri Shiva Rishi serving these ordinary people who were led to perceive “The extraordinary” in themselves. Now they are in a journey of expanding their horizons of knowledge and in the process of self purification.
The teachers of Satyananda Yoga Centre consider themselves as servants of Guru. Teaching yoga to people is not a profession for them, instead it is a spiritual effort “SADHANA“.
Satyananda Yoga Centre does not Surrogate from other places, we create our teachers through a systematic training spread over couple of years!
A thorough course, spread over a period of two years of intense learning of practices and shastras, followed by exhaustive experience to imbibe, the teaching methodologies and skills, that have been received from the parampara of Satyananda Yoga, personally, tested and verified over the last 25 years of teaching, conceived in the most effective way to minimize loss of knowledge during the transmission, give participants a great leverage to take aspirants of yoga to have a metamorphic experience in the cocoon of Satyananda Yoga.
