  • Location in San Ramon United States (map)

Five Saturday series offered in San Ramon (Location will be shared upon registration)

2nd and 4th Saturdays starting Jan 27th, First 4 classes offered in San Ramon and 5th class in Palo Alto

Usher in 2024 by making a personal commitment to deepening your inner life and meditation practice! Learn the ancient techniques of meditation taught by Paramhansa Yogananda.

Energy is an important key to cultivate calmness at will. When you can control your energy you can control your thoughts, helping you develop radiant wellbeing and positive habits and attitudes.

The energization exercises are a set of 39 exercises developed by Yogananda to recharge the body battery and gain control over our subtle energy (prana) by using the mind's will.

In this 5 week series, we will

  • Review the beginning meditation technique taught by Yogananda on the path to Kriya yoga

  • Learn and practice the energization exercises taught by Yogananda to recharge body, mind and soul

  • Strengthen our meditation practice by improving our ability to relax and focus

Each class will end with 30 mins of guided practice of pranayam, chanting and meditation. The fellowship created through a course such as this provides the motivation and support needed to develop a regular meditation habit.
