We are delighted to welcome Yogacharya Swami Anandananda Saraswati back to North America to lead this Yoga Lifestyle Weekend, co-hosted by YANA and the Yoga School, New Jersey.

This special weekend program, Harmonizing the Chakras and the Tattwas, is designed to support your yoga journey through in-depth practice and understanding of subtle energy systems. Sannyasins inspired by the Bihar School of Yoga tradition and Swami Anandananda will guide participants through a weekend of asana, pranayama, yoga nidra, mantra, havan, satsang, kirtan, and more.

The chakras are the subtle psychic centres of the personality that govern the flow of energy and consciousness across the physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions of life. The tattwas are the fundamental elements that constitute nature and are deeply interrelated with the chakras.

When these aspects are in balance, they promote vitality, clarity, and a deeper sense of inner harmony. This Yoga Lifestyle Weekend is intended to help restore that balance through practical, experiential sessions grounded in yogic tradition.

This year the event will also be available online for those unable to attend in person.
