As founder and leader of the nonprofit International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre, Swami Vishnudevananda guided a network of learning centers that included the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Retreat in the Bahamas. The classical yoga tradition embodied by Swami Vishnudevananda continues at the retreat to this day.
Inclusivity is at the center of daily practice at the ashram, which exposes individuals to wisdom from worldwide traditions under the maxim "Unity in Diversity.” This interspiritual and interfaith dialogue incorporates perspectives from various artistic and scientific disciplines. Further, symposia and events bring community members together in shared endeavors that emphasize creativity as well as continuous philosophical and spiritual exploration. This diversity of learning is anchored by a unified commitment to fostering a positive shift in consciousness at the planetary level. One aspect of this is attaining inner peace through a combination of asana yoga poses, pranayama breathing, meditation, and shared expressions of joy and devotion through chanting. Not limited to the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Retreat, this mission extends throughout the organization’s worldwide reach.
