Swami Premshakti is a senior swami in the Satyananda Yoga Tradition with over 35 years teaching experience. She has a grounded practical approach to teaching the Kriya Yoga practices, which she conveys with wisdom and intuition according to the needs of the students.
“Kriya yoga caters to the dimension of consciousness, to sensitise one to experience consciousness, going deep into the realisation of what it is, and to realise the state of pure bliss in consciousness, which is the spirit. Kriya yoga takes you to the vijnanamaya and anandamaya kosha levels.” Swami Niranjan
KRIYA means ‘activity’ or ‘movement’ and refers to the activity or movement of consciousness.
Kriya Yoga is a powerful practice which is suitable for all yoga practitioners. The ultimate purpose of Kriya Yoga is to create an awakening in the Chakras (energy centres in the body), purify the Nadis (energy channels) and to awaken Kundalini Shakti. This harmonises and expands consciousness and leads to a deeper understanding of our true nature.
The weekend includes What is Kriya Yoga and an introduction and practice of the Kriya Yoga practices 1, 2 and 3. For each Kriya there will be teachings of appropriate asana, pranayama, mudras, bandhas, psychic passage and chakra awareness.
"The practices of kriya yoga will go a long way towards awakening our spiritual potential. There are many yogic techniques, and all have their place, but the practices of kriya yoga are far superior, far better planned, and they are easily accessible to the people of our age." Swami Satyananda
