This interactive class series is Ananda’s most comprehensive study of yoga principles, intended for anyone who wants to understand Yoga—and life—more deeply. It is also the second step required for initiation into the Path of Kriya yoga as brought by Paramhansa Yogananda.
The course is based on the book, The Art and Science of Raja Yoga by Swami Kriyananda, based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda.
Each class starts experientially with Yogananda’s Energization exercises followed with a short yoga postures session suitable for all experience levels, leading into pranayama & meditation. After a short break, we will explore the philosophy behind it all. Taught by a variety of teachers each with 20 years experience or more in practicing and presenting these teachings.
Energy and Magnetism is Class 1 in the Raja Yoga 9-class course.
Energy is the foundation of all Yoga practices – practices that are designed to awaken and channel life force (Prana) and thereby raise the consciousness of the practitioner
In this class we will discuss the foundational Yogic philosophy of focusing human energy and compare that with current scientific knowledge to discover some surprising parallels.
We’ll also begin to learn Yogananda’s Energization Exercises which are a first step in learning to awaken, intensify & channel energy for enlightenment
