Kriya yoga initiation is an intensive weekend retreat that begins on Friday evening with an introductory lecture. The lecture will present the essence and goals of the kriya yoga initiation. Those interested can also join the lecture online, with separate registration available here. The lecture will be simultaneously translated into English, and participation is free or by donation.
During the kriya yoga initiation, knowledge and practical instructions will be shared that support each stage of Patanjali’s classical eightfold path of yoga. After the initiation, regular satsangs will be held to deepen practices and support the application of learned knowledge in daily life.
Kriya Yoga initiation is conducted by Acharya Ingvar Villido Ishwarananda.
