What students say...

"The sessions from Kriya home study helped me strengthen the roots of my meditation journey .The energization exercise and the chant "From Joy I com,For Joy I live and In Sacred Joy I melt again" tunes your vibes so well for the meditation.The experience of peace and the joy of everlasting companionship with the divine in our meditation is affirmed with the technicalities learnt here.It helps me to be inclusive and yet undisturbed in my daily ride of life .I for sure know that i am evolving to my best self with these practices. The sessions were so well and deep."

"The two day live meditation class series was a blessing. The sessions were very beautifully planned. Breathing practices including Hong Sau meditation, with techniques to cut off overflowing thoughts in mind, and emphsizing on the importance of posture. What I resonated the most is the peace in stillness of breath. The energization exercises taught are very beneficial in releasing stress from body and being active throughout the day. Lastly, I would like to quote the chant she taught from Paramhansa Yogananda ji's poem "Samadhi" - "From joy I came. For joy I live. In sacred joy, I melt again""

"It was a great experience to begin my journey of self awareness and finding inner peace. The explanations were so nice that helped me to connect more with my inner consciousness. The teacher's follow up on how I was able to bring in meditation to daily practice was notable. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking to begin their spiritual journey to take these classes."
