Yoga Center Of California

Why are we the only yoga center serving Orange County for over 40 years? And why have thousands of people learned to relax, enjoy greater vitality, peace of mind, health and well being so quickly after starting classes? We teach asanas (exercises) in an authentic yoga style, the way they have been taught for centuries by yogis to gain maximum health, vitality and inner peace.

We offer authentic Hatha Yoga, which means we teach the asanas or exercises in an easy, natural way. Our teaching style helps busy people enjoy greater relaxation and peace of mind all day. There's no straining, you simply move into a pose to the point to your point of comfort and then let go and relax.

When people think about yoga, they picture calm-looking folks twisting their bodies into pretzel-like shapes. But yoga has so much more to offer. After a routine of authentic asana (exercises), including a 10-minute "deep relaxation" practice, you'll feel very relaxed. Many students say they feel better after their first class than they have for years.

Our teachers' background and experience is one of the main reasons Yoga Center students realize the benefits of yoga quickly. Yoga Center teachers have studied for years with Ramakrishna Ananda, internationally known master of yoga, metaphysics and mysticism. Notable as a yoga master and one of the few Western-born Gurus in the world, Ramakrishna Ananda was the main teacher at Yoga Center for nearly 25 years.

In yoga circles today, the term "Yoga Master" means many things. Maybe a Hatha Yoga Master or someone who has been teaching for a long time. Here at Yoga Center when we say our founder is a Yoga Master, we mean much, much more than that. We mean someone who is recognized by spiritual leaders as having experienced Higher Consciousness and living in that state.
