World Yoga Center

The World Yoga Center welcomes students of all ages, traditions and backgrounds, at every level of ability. We are very proud of the World Yoga Center.

Through the Yoga practices, students embark on a transformative journey of awakenment while developing bodies that glow with health. Decades after we opened our doors in 1972, we are still here at our original address. Only Yoga has been practiced in our beautiful space and the atmosphere here is unusually pristine and serene. The name ”World Yoga Center” was inspired by the International World Yoga Symposium held in New Delhi, India, in 1970. Our name reminds us that the teachings and practices of Yoga are universal, embrace divisions of East and West, and have become compatible with modern living. Yoga provides transformational knowledge that radically awakens us to the mystery of life. This underlying vision and the deep intention of Yoga sustain the World Yoga Center and drive it forward.

WYC Immersion Program
with Rudrani & Jacalyn
January - May 2026

Dear Beloved Community,

We are thrilled to announce the return of The Immersion Program — a transformative journey into the heart of Yoga.

The program meets one weekend each month for five months, beginning January 23 - May 17, 2026.

For those who have already experienced this sacred journey, you know the profound impact it can have on our lives. You’ve felt the transmission of wisdom through the teachings and you’ve been embraced by the Sangha — a community that continues to nurture and support long after the program concludes.

The Immersion, open to all students, marks the beginning of a deeper understanding of the core of Yoga. Together, we’ll explore the foundational teachings, deepen our Hatha practice, and connect with the vast and timeless wisdom of the Yoga tradition.

Throughout the immersion, expect profound internal shifts as the ancient teachings awaken us and become integrated into our innermost core. These teachings have survived the millennia and are potent in their ability to transform our lives. Supported by the practices, the community and guidance from the teachers, the Immersion becomes an especially powerful path of inner transformation.

Special Note for Returning Students & Graduates:
If you have previously taken the Immersion or completed the World Yoga Center Teacher Training, please reach out to inquire about tuition discounts available for those of you who are returning students.

Immersion Dates: The Immersion will take place over 5 weekends, one weekend per month:

Jan 23-25
Feb 20-22
Mar 20-22
Apr 17-19
May 15-17

Weekly Schedule:
Fridays: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Saturdays & Sundays: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Enrollment is now open, and space is limited.
For registration or further inquiries, please contact Jacalyn directly at 917-822-1120.

We would be deeply honored to have you join us for this expansive journey. Don’t miss the chance to be part of this moving train of transformation.

With much love,
Rudrani and Jacalyn

Community Reiki Circle
Dec 6, 2025
World Yoga Center w/ Jodi
Offered In-Person and via Livestream

Reiki is the healing aspect of the supreme energy at the root of our
very being, the potent beneficial force that flows through us all.
Connecting to this energy through Reiki, as a practitioner and as a
receiver, is a powerful tool for our own and others' healing.

Our Reiki Circle welcomes non-Reiki practitioners for the first hour.
We will all be together for our opening meditation, and all will be
able to offer names into the circle for healing. During this time,
everyone will receive Reiki from Reiki practitioners. We will conclude
with journaling and sharing.

The practice portion of our circle, 2-3:15, will be just for Reiki
practitioners so that we may continue to practice our Reiki skills in
community for the highest good of others.

Autumn Reset!
Therapeutic Anusara Yoga & Self-Massage
This Sunday, October 19, 1:30-3:30pm
In-person and online with Jacalyn
Price: $45

As the seasons turn, we’re invited to pause, release, and re-align with nature’s rhythm. This 2-hour workshop offers a sanctuary to balance the body, quiet the mind, and reconnect with your inner radiance.

Through the therapeutic wisdom of Anusara Yoga and the grounding practices of self-massage, we’ll melt layers of tension and awaken a deep sense of inner freedom. Using balls, blocks, straps, and foam rollers, we’ll gently unravel the knots held in the body and create space for breath and ease.

In this inward journey, you will experience:

Gentle, therapeutic asana to harmonize body and breath
Deep guided relaxation bathed in the sounds of nature and Tibetan singing bowls
Pranayama and meditation to anchor us in presence and awaken inner calm

This workshop is more than a physical release—it’s a return to the Great Self within. By turning inward, we dissolve the limitations of ordinary mind and reclaim the lightness that is our birthright.

WYC Series: Meet the Mat starts this Friday!
Fundamental Series
Four Friday Evenings, 5:30-6:30 pm
Begins October 17th
with Amanda & Sarah

Yoga is for everyone! In this workshop series, we will dive deeply into the mechanics of the basic poses and give you an understanding of what an authentic yoga practice entails.

Our approach will allow time and space for breaking down poses (called “asanas”) and exploring the Universal Principles of Alignment that guide Anusara Yoga. With intention and breath weaving through the physical practice, this series intends to establish greater awareness and recognition of the subtler realms that reach the full spectrum of our humanity, the evolution of our consciousness.

This series is designed especially to welcome new practitioners, but is ideal for every level student. Through the 4-week series, you will develop a strong foundation supporting you to continue your practice with greater ease and confidence.

Dates: Fridays
October 17, 24, 31, November 7
