Meditation is both an art and a science.

It is a technique for personal growth that has been practiced for thousands of years around the world with repeatable results. It is one of the most natural and rewarding of all human activities. It gives direct, intuitive experience of higher realities, and is the cornerstone of true spirituality.

There is no aspect of your life that cannot be improved by meditation, whether it be in business, relationships, health, or developing any personal quality, such as willpower.

The highest purpose of meditation, however, is to discover your Highest Self.

Based on the original teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda. 

This in-person class is Step 1 on the Path of Kriya Yoga. In this class you will learn basic yet powerful techniques of meditation through clear, step-by-step instructions.

Learn to relax your body, quiet your mind, awaken intuition, and experience greater joy in daily life.

Experience the importance of the breath/mind connection and the power of the focused mind. Learn Paramhansa Yogananda’s Energization Exercises, a unique system of exercises for controlling and increasing your energy level and overcoming fatigue.
