Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Tapaswini Ashram is located in Gudur, Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh. It is a popular Yoga center that follows the teachings of Sivananda Yoga. The organization was founded by Sri Swami Vishnudevananda, who was a disciple of Sri Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh. Their mission is to promote physical, mental, and spiritual health through the practice of classical Yoga and Vedanta.
The Ashram offers Yoga classes for all levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners. They also have special courses like ‘Yoga Vacation’, which helps people rejuvenate and bring balance back into their lives. One of their intensive programs is the Sadhana Intensive, where participants can push their limits, build stamina, and gain self-confidence through eight hours of Hatha Yoga practice each day.
During the Sadhana Intensive, participants stay within the Ashram premises for two weeks, with no access to phones or email. They follow a strict sattvic diet and focus on intense pranayama and self-practice. Many students choose to repeat this program multiple times to deepen their Yoga practice and experience personal growth.
