# Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre
Located in Putney, southwest London, the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre is a spiritual sanctuary dedicated to authentic classical yoga practice rooted in the teachings of yoga masters Swami Sivananda and Swami Vishnudevananda. Operating since 1970, the centre has established itself as a beacon for yoga practitioners seeking genuine instruction rather than fitness-focused classes.
The centre serves a diverse, international community ranging from complete beginners to experienced practitioners. They welcome people seeking yoga as a lifestyle philosophy rather than mere physical exercise, as well as those pursuing serious spiritual development and teacher training credentials.
What distinguishes this centre is its holistic approach combining asana practice with meditation, philosophy, and lifestyle guidance. Rather than compartmentalising yoga as exercise, they present it as an integrated path to self-discovery. The centre offers daily classes across all levels, specialised workshops on yogic philosophy and stress management, and internationally-recognised yoga teacher training programmes. Their special weekend retreats—such as the upcoming "Pearls of Devotion & Wisdom"—feature early morning meditation, dynamic workshops, kirtan chanting, and spiritual discourses led by established swamis. The peaceful Peace Garden provides a tranquil environment for practice.
The organisation also extends accessibility through online yoga classes, ensuring practitioners can engage with their teachings regardless of location. This combination of traditional authenticity, comprehensive offerings, expert guidance, and welcoming inclusivity makes them stand out in London's yoga landscape.
