Kriya Yoga is an ancient meditation technique of energy and breath control, or pranayama. It is part of a comprehensive spiritual path practiced here at Ananda, which includes additional meditation practices along with attitudes for right living. After being hidden in secrecy for many centuries, it was revealed again by the great Master Babaji in the 1800s. Yogananda popularized Kriya Yoga through his book, Autobiography of a Yogi, and through his public teaching in the West. The technique itself is taught through initiation. In this introductory seminar, learn more about the path of Kriya Yoga and how the technique works directly with the energies in the human spine. You will receive an overview of the various classes and opportunities offered at Ananda for those interested in learning and practicing the teachings of Kriya Yoga.
