Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre – Ho Chi Minh City

The Ho Chi Minh City branch of Sivananda Yoga Vedanta is in a spacious building on Nguyen Dinh Chinh Street in Phu Nhuan, central but quiet inside, with an outdoor practice area. It is linked to the organisation's resort and teacher-training centre in Da Lat, and the centre doubles as a base for Karma Yogis and graduates of the Sivananda teacher training course.

Teaching follows the classical Sivananda format: asana, pranayama, deep relaxation, diet, positive thinking and meditation. Daily open classes welcome everyone, and there is a structured beginner course, gentle adaptive yoga for people with health conditions, and workshops on yoga and Ayurveda.

The first class is free. After that you can drop in or buy weekly or monthly passes. Community satsang, with meditation, kirtan chanting and a talk on philosophy, is held free every Wednesday and Sunday.
