The solutions we seek can be found within
At Swan River Yoga, we believe that the solutions we seek can be found within. Our mission is to support practitioners on an inward journey through skillful guidance, therapeutic approach, appropriate challenge, and community connection. We are committed to creating a nurturing environment where individuals can cultivate awareness, balance, and harmony in their bodies, minds, and spirits.
The Space
Our unique home is the "Mandir", a three-story wellness center located in the heart of Mid-City, New Orleans. This architecturally significant building provides an abundant, high-ceilinged yoga practice space, accommodating large trainings as well as our weekly rhythm of yoga classes and wellness offerings. We take pride in our Mandir, which has been serving the New Orleans community for over 15 years.
Teachers
Our experienced teachers support practice, drawing on their advanced training, skillful use of our array of high-quality props, and the sacred soundscape to support the therapeutic journey. We believe that the guidance of a skilled teacher can be a powerful catalyst for personal growth and transformation.
