Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center Los Angeles

I recently spent a weekend here. It was just what I needed to recharge and reset. The ashram is beautiful, peaceful, and every part of the house exudes peace and love. Both swamis were kind and welcoming. The yoga classes are traditional Sivananda. I loved them. I enjoyed each morning where attendees would meditate together at sat sang and then we would chant. The energy created in the satsang regulated my nervous system each time. If you want a weekend of true rest, come to the la ashram!

I have been here for three weeks for a retreat, it’s a great time to talk with swami and practice everyday. When there is an opportunity to remove the ignorance in mind, there comes the intelligence.

I have spent almost a week in Sivananda Yoga Retreat, LA. Beautiful place and felt the peace in every inch of the retreat. Swamiji and the staff are very friendly and they treated me so preciously and very gentle and respectful. The yoga classes were very well taught. They have one on one sessions and also they have a massage room. Interiors and exteriors are super clean all the time. Plenty of space to take walk in the backyard and just beautiful trees and plants which were well maintained. The food was delicious and the kitchen was very welcoming. I was able to attend cooking class which was great. I highly recommend this retreat if one wants to recharge, relax and experience the inner peace. Fell in love with the place and people. Looking forward to go again and attend the various events. Great people, great vibes, great ambience, everything was super amazing. ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for everything Swamiji and the staff. 🙏🙏

I had a wonderful stay at the center, the Swami and her supporting team, are knowledgeable, kind and wonderful guides in all the practices. I arrived at a time of deep grief in need of some space and time. I received all of that and more from the people, the center the environment of peace that is and around the center. I quarantined on arrival to keep all safe and well at this time. My quarantine actually became a beautiful and unexpected start to my stay, a lovely room, a place to meditate and space for Yoga reading eating, you have access to all the centers programs on line, Yoga Meditation Satsang, workshops. There was a lovely light flooding in every day and direct access to the outside space at the center where you will find the yoga deck, the gardens that hold space for fruit giving flowering trees, a very amusing nut busting squirrel, birds singing, a real oasis of calm and rest. During my quarantine I was delivered three healthy beautiful meals a day, which nourished my body and mind, I am home now and I just made one of the Prana bursting soups that was prepared for me in the center, a new firm favorite now, I received a gift of time, to go in, inside me. Thereafter I joined inside and outside on the deck the offerings from the center to further support my healing. I will certainly be returning to the center

The place is located at a very nice neighborhood in LA. It is still peaceful with all the horns honking on the busy roads, but it does transfer you to a whole new dimension. The place has some random stuff collected by Swami on display, which is nice but I am not sure of the authenticity. The staff is extremely nice and helpful, and ready to make accommodations for you even out of their control. It was a pleasant experience overall :)
