12-Part Online Course
Paramhansa Yogananda often said: “Keep the body fit for Self-Realization!” The essence of Yogananda’s teachings on healing are integrative and holistic. While the majority of Yogananda’s teachings focus on spiritual healing, attained through meditation and communing inwardly with the Divine, but he also strongly emphasizes the close ties linking together body, mind, and soul.
Course Includes:
Each section includes an hour-long video presented by some of Ananda’s most experienced teachers, who have been studying, teaching, and practicing Yogananda’s healing principles for many years. Each presenter carefully explains how to heal and self-integrate, while moving through the process of becoming whole and healthy human beings.
The course includes supplemental written texts, audio and video presentations by Swami Kriyananda, founder of Ananda and a direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda. You will also receive interactive support through online forums and fun exercises and activities, all of which are designed to help you take these lessons deep inside and make them your own.

1 review for Ananda Health and Healing Course
The “Ananda Health and Healing ” course is life changing! When I first enrolled in this course I just wanted to feel more energetic and to increase my physical well being. I never expected this course to take me on such a deep spiritual journey. After completing the 12 lessons I feel that I started to heal from the inside and I feel more connected with my inner Self. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting all these lessons together and for all your help throughout this course!
