History
Ananda Yoga is one of the oldest Hatha Yoga systems in the West. Its roots are the 1940/1950ies, when Kriyananda was asked by Yogananda to demonstrate the postures for visiting guests at the Self-Realization Fellowship (where Kriyananda was the head monk at the mother center), as well as for public events, such as the "Lake Shrine Dedication." Kriyananda also modeled for photos, for articles on the yoga postures in Yogananda's "Self-Realization Magazine." From 1965 he started to teach Ananda Yoga publicly in California. In 1972 his students developed a Yoga Teacher Training Program, which is now taught in America, in Europe, and in India. The director of Ananda Yoga, Gyandev Rich McCord, is a co-founder of Yoga Alliance and a member of its Board of Directors.
