The Center at Ananda Laurelwood

A campus of higher consciousness - 225 acre with retreats and programs based in yoga and meditation, located in Laurelwood Valley near Portland, Oregon. http://anandalaurelwood.org - A global yoga and meditation center for inspiring divine joy, self-study, and transformation. Our goal at Ananda, is to help each individual realize the joy of their own highest self. Our retreat center is based on the pioneering work of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of one of the top ten spiritual books of the century: "Autobiography of a Yogi." Yogananda's mission was to bring the ancient, yogic science of India to the US, in such a way that it could be applied to modern, daily life. These yogic teachings are founded in Sanaatan Dharma: that which is eternally true. Thus, we welcome all spiritual paths and the universal truth they express. Join us and experience: -Meaningful exploration and the support of sharing with friends; -Courses and curriculum founded in a worldwide educational system; -Daily yoga and meditation; -Solutions for the new age, founded in simple living and high thinking; -And expansive, beautiful vistas for contemplation in nature.
