If you have attended Kriya Yoga classes in the past but not practising regularly, attending this class will be good way to refresh your knowledge and start practising regularly. As Kriya Yoga workshops are being planned regularly if the class is full, you will be placed in waiting list or added to next class in Feb. 2008.
Kriya Yoga involves learning breath control (Pranayama) to effectively channel the flow of prana (life force) which traverses the 72,000 nadis or astral nerves in the human body. According to Markandeya Purana, Kriya Yoga was revealed by Lord Dattatreya to great saints and yogis of ancient India. Saint Patanjali structured this knowledge into Yoga Sutras. Sri Swamiji has made it part of His mission to revive this ancient knowledge and bring it to the West.
The Kriya technique highlights the relationship between breath and mind. Breath influences mind and vice-versa.
Their mutual relationship has revealed the mystery of how to control the mind. Breath control is self-control.
Breath mastery is self mastery. Breathlessness stage is deathlessness stage that brings the state of samadhi,
the realization of the Absolute. Kriya Yoga is a golden opportunity to reach higher states of consciousness and
change your life, gaining all-round development of body, mind, and soul. It is a quick and easy path.
