Where can I find my nearest teacher?
Please look at the teachers section. The number of teachers are growing. Swami Aliyananda hand picks the teachers from her students to ensure they will teach in the authentic style.
Why are there so few UK course dates for Swami Aliyananda?
Swami Aliyananda teaches for most of the year. She is carrying out the World Peace Mission and so travels abroad extensively.
When Swami Aliyananda is able to fit in a course in the UK, it will be published here.
We humbly suggest that if you wish to attend a course, please book early.
