Higher Education for Higher Consciousness The Ananda Institute of Alternative Living is an institute for higher education based on the spiritually unitive principles contained in the word, yoga. The institute offers students not only the information and tools they need for achieving success in today's world, but also the subtler understanding that is becoming increasingly necessary today for people to live as complete human beings. We offer courses in yoga philosophy, dharmic business and leadership, inspirational art, holistic health and healing, world cultures and consciousness, alternative technology and sustainable living, education for life, and much more.
