This 60-HR course presents the practices, principles and philosophies that lead to right action. Kriyas are yoga sets combining posture, breath, mantra, mudra and internal focus. The yogic practice of kriya is designed to awaken us into our highest potential. To engage in kriya is to take an action which supports your personal development and spiritual evolution. Kriya is one of the most important practices for our time. It helps to cut through fear and negativity. It is a vehicle for profound transformation. Kriya literally means “right action”.

Kriyas can be practiced alone, or incorporated into regular classes. When we practice kriya we open to deep levels of presence and relaxation. In this state we access higher awareness and connection to our authentic Self, which is connected to all. Kriya creates lasting transformational experiences and the ability of the teacher to act from a greater sense of Self with developed sensivity and presence.

In this course you will explore the role of a teacher as a catalyst for transformational experiences, and the capacity of the teacher to act from a greater sense of self. This is an invitation to move beyond unconscious patterns and to emerge radiant and present to your uniqueness as an individual and teacher.

• Understand the structure and mechanism of kriya
