Sacred Space Yoga Sanctuary operates
Rudramandir: A Center for Spirituality and Healing
830 Bancroft Way at Sixth Street, in Berkeley, California.

The center provides a nourishing environment for the journey towards profound physical and spiritual well-being. Its mission is to serve the community by offering, under one roof, a breadth of programs to aid in the exploration of each individual's full potential.

Rudramandir means: “The place where spirit takes up residence and destroys all pain and suffering.”

Rudra means “destroyer of pain and suffering” and was the name of Swami Khecaranatha’s teacher.  Mandir means “the place that spirit takes up residence.”

From ancient times the cultures of the world have turned to the transformational and healing effects of art, natural medicines, music, and spiritual practices in the search for health, happiness, and fulfillment. Upholding that tradition, Rudramandir is pleased to offer the community around us the opportunity to make that contact with Spirit through our various programs:

The experience of celebration and expansion at Rudramandir is enhanced through the adornment of the space with sacred art in the form of sculpture, painting, and architectural elements, evoking the magnificence of Spirit.

Sacred Space Yoga Sanctuary is a non-profit organization, and administers the programs at Rudramandir with the help of a very limited staff and volunteers. We need financial support from individuals, foundations, and corporations in order to continue serving the community around us. Your tax-deductible donation will help us provide the services and programs that we are committed to offering.
