Ananda is a global spiritual movement based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the great spiritual classic, Autobiography of a Yogi, who showed how everyone can realize God in their daily lives as a tangible, loving reality.

Ananda Berkeley and Ananda Clayton are sister Ananda Centers in the East Bay for yoga, meditation and celebrating spiritual community. We have been serving the area for many years sharing the liberating teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda.

Everyone is welcome. We’re here to help you experience the joy of meditation and the blessings of the spiritual life in a relaxed and supportive setting alongside others interested in meditating, learning, connecting and living Yogananda’s teachings.

All paths are paths to God. Those of all faiths and traditions are welcome.

Yogananda’s dynamic, practical and devotional path offers balanced well-being—spiritual physical, mental & emotional vitality—to people of all faiths and backgrounds, emphasizing direct inner experience of the Divine—Self Realization—through the practice of Kriya Yoga.
