Yasodhara Ashram has a long-standing connection with Budapest thanks to the initiative of Frances Becker who first moved to the city to teach yoga during its time of great transition in 1993, and remained there, living and teaching for fifteen years.
Frances and other Yasodhara Yoga teachers continue to visit the city and offer classes, workshops and satsangs whenever these can be arranged.
The centre has grown with the addition of a large new yoga room. Meanwhile many consistent students and teachers there have continued to flourish and grow in self understanding.
Copies of Swami Radha’s Rádhá – Egy asszony útkeresésének naplója and Hatha jóga, a rejtett nyelv. – Szimbólumok, titkok és metaforák can be purchased both on line and at the Sivananda Centre.
