REALIZE THE UNION OF THE SELF AND EVOLVE YOUR BODY, INTELLECT AND SOUL

This is not a regularly scheduled class. The Ashram offers it periodically with advanced notice to students.

120 minutes WARM (85 degrees)

The premise of Kriya Yoga is that we are a miniature version of the whole cosmos, a microcosman evolving universe within the macrocosmic world. Within each of us hides the supreme creator activating every action through the breath. Hence the name Kriya: meaning that any work or kri is being done by the power of the indwelling soul or ya. Yoga is the means of uniting this correspondence between microcosm and macrocosmrealizing the truth within the union of the individual self and the Supreme Self.

In addition to the emotional and spiritual benefits of this practice, Kriyas can teach meditation, breath control and calmness, mental purification and eradication of bondage from the desires of the ego. This Kriya class provides an immediate spiritual experience and has been likened by Paramahansa Yogananda as the easiest, most effective, and most scientific avenue of approach to the Infinite.
