Nursing CE Contact Hours Meet Our Teachers
Expanding Light Staff
Most of our teachers are Ananda Village residents and are dedicated to the path of yoga as expressed by Paramhansa Yogananda and his direct disciple Swami Kriyananda, founder of Ananda. Our teachers honor and respect all paths to God and strive to help each guest on their individual journey.
Each of our Hatha Yoga Teachers is trained in Ananda Yoga®, which is registered with Yoga Alliance, the international organization which sets the standards for yoga certification. In addition to offering their own unique backgrounds and specialties, all of our teachers are also Meditation Teachers.
