What is Kriya Yoga?

Kriya is a Sanskrit word that means action; action that liberates. In the context of a practice, kriyas are techniques that support evolution and growth. They incorporate elements like breathwork, mudra, mantra, movement, and sound in order to facilitate an energetic experience.

Most of the yoga that we do in the West is called asana. Most of my asana classes incorporate kriya to different degrees. If you are a new to kriya, you can expect a new and exciting experience. You don’t need anything at all but an open mind and a willing heart.
