The Movement Center

NEWS | NITYANANDA INSTITUTE IS NOW THE MOVEMENT CENTER

Our Transition to Our New Name is in Progress

It's official! We've changed our name to The Movement Center. Why the change, you may ask? As part of a strategic plan for our future, we wanted to create a new identity, one that reflects our unique Western cultural context for Eastern spirituality.

After considering a range of possibilities, we decided to adopt a name we've been associated with for a long time: The Movement Center. The Movement Center is a natural choice. Center refers to our core, which is total well-being, and movement refers to flow, so the name reflects the circulation of energy that is the essence of our practice. The name also evokes dynamic stillness, the phrase Swami Chetanananda has often used to describe the ultimate reality. We will continue to use the tag line "The Power of Spirit through the Practice of Yoga" to describe what we do.

We have started the process of implementing the change and are working on a new logo, signage, and website design. We thank you for your patience in this transition.
