The Sivananda School of Yoga was founded in Johannesburg in 1956 by a small group, who were inspired by one of the greatest yogis of the twentieth century, Swami Sivananda of Muni Ki Reti, Himalayas. The School is led by members of the Swami Order, counselled by a committee. Voting members are trustees, committee members and currently serving teachers, who all serve without remuneration.
Shunning all the hybrid adaptations and variously named ‘yogas’ which have recently appeared, the school teaches authentic Yoga in the Hindu tradition.
The Sivananda School of Yoga is a registered non-profit benefit trust, affiliated to the Divine Life Society of India. Ownership of the School is vested in trustees. The beneficiaries of the trust are the school’s members.
