SSVT was the first temple in the Washington DC area to offer weekly yoga classes from January 1998. Between 2000 and 2002, our yoga teachers initiated Yoga programs in other temples in the Washington area. SSVT inspired the creation of life in Yoga Foundation and Institute which is currently the only Yoga institution in the USA that is an accredited provider of continuing medical education credits to physicians. This 20th anniversary celebrations seek to showcase the diversity of yoga practices that embody the philosophy of Yoga Sutras. Yoga practice segments are geared to participants of all levels who have not had recent spinal injuries of surgeries. The only exception is the Hatha Yoga Asana segment which may be a little strenuous for some without regular physical activity.
