Kriya Yoga Meditation Series: April 12, 2026

This year our seven-week Kriya Yoga Meditation Series will take place on Sunday mornings at 11:00 a.m. Our usual Sunday worship service will take a slightly different format to offer time to unfold the purpose, ideal and technique of Kriya. This Kriya series is dedicated to the rishi, Patanjali. Each week will reflect on themes from his Yoga Sutras as they pertain to Kriya Yoga. All who aspire to the life, practice and ideal of yoga are welcome.

The Yoga Sutras are well-known for the description of ashtanga yoga, eight elements of practice culminating in samadhi. The eight elements, known as limbs, are yama (abstinences), niyama (observances), asana (seat or posture), pranayama (focus on breath), pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses), dharana (concentration of the mind), dhyana (meditation) and samadhi (realization of absolute oneness).

We will explore the profound mystical source of Yoga according to our sacred spiritual heritage and inspired by themes from the Yoga Sutras.
