  • Ananda Temple 2171 El Camino Real Palo Alto, CA United States (map)

Thursdays, 8:30-8:30pm, August 14-November 6 • Cost: $245

This course is the 4th step on the path to Kriya Yoga.

Prerequisites: Lessons in Meditation, Art and Science of Raja Yoga and the Course in Discipleship

This 9-week course offers in-depth exploration on deepening your understanding and practice of the central techniques on the Path of Kriya Yoga.

Kriya Yoga is a spiritual path, not just a single technique. The Path of Kriya includes specific techniques of meditation and yoga, along with discipleship and the philosophical understanding from the study of Raja Yoga.

It will help you tune more deeply into the Guru-Disciple relationship as it relates to the path of Kriya. You will learn the AUM technique of meditation and other additional practices that will help prepare you for your initiation into the Kriya technique.

It will not only expand your understanding of the path of Kriya Yoga, but will help integrate all your previous training into a comprehensive daily practice.

Led by  Saiganesh, Lakshmi, and other guest instructors
