About Ananda Marga Meditation & Yoga

Ananda Marga Meditation & Yoga is a yoga and meditation centre at 51 Sussex Street in Grey Lynn, Auckland. It is part of Ananda Marga, a global organisation started in India in 1955 by P.R. Sarkar. The website says the centre teaches yoga asana, built around 42 postures that Sarkar selected for their benefits, along with basic yoga and meditation practices. It also points to an intermediate Tantra Yoga course, and to regional seminars and retreats. The website invites people to join its mailing list for upcoming classes, retreats and seminars, or to contact the nearest centre.

The website says the wider organisation runs schools, children's homes, food distribution, disaster relief, medical centres and community development projects in many countries. It describes its approach to yoga as the classical, real sense of the term. One customer says the classes are a great way to calm the mind, and that the people are friendly.
