Kriya Yoga works directly with the source of all growth — the spiritual energy deep in
the spine. It is both ancient and immediate; both sacred and supremely practical.
Learn Kriya Yoga
A yogi who faithfully follows its technique is gradually freed from karma
Kriya yoga is the most effective technique available to mankind today for reaching the goal of Yoga - Oneness with the infinite Consciousness
— Paramhansa Yogananda
Kriya Yoga was hidden for centuries before Babaji revived it in 1861, transmitting it to Lahiri Mahasaya. Passing through Sri Yukteswar to Paramhansa Yogananda, it was carried to the West and the world.
Regular practice sharpens concentration, deepens inner peace, and nourishes every dimension of life — family, vocation, and spiritual aspiration. At Ananda, we share this teaching step by step, honouring the traditional path.

THE WAY OF KRIYA
Four steps to initiation
Learn to Meditate
You learn a simple yet potent meditation technique built around a sacred mantra that calms the heart and stills the mind. This is the first of the four core practices on the path of Kriya Yoga.
Energy and Energisation
Yogananda's Energisation Exercises form one of the four key practices of Kriya Yoga. You learn to consciously draw cosmic energy into the body and direct it — vitalising your cells, supporting healing, and preparing a strong vessel for deeper meditation.
The Art and Science of Raja Yoga
Deepen your philosophy, establish a consistent practice, and find community with fellow seekers. This comprehensive course weaves together the wisdom of Yoga with its living application in daily life.
- Philosophy of Yoga and its application to daily living
- Patanjali's Ashtanga Yoga — the eightfold path to inner peace
- Breathing techniques and healing principles
- Understanding magnetism, energy, and diet
- Guided meditation practice throughout
Course in Discipleship
No one climbs a mountain, masters an instrument, or becomes an athlete without a skilled guide. Spiritual freedom — surely the most profound endeavour of all — is no different. This course explores what a true guru is, why the relationship matters, and how to walk that path with clarity and devotion.
- Understanding the need for a Guru
- The disciple's part in the relationship
- Life with a Master — attunement and trust
- Discipleship to Paramhansa Yogananda
Preparation for Kriya Yoga
For those who have completed the first three steps and taken the Discipleship Initiation, this course introduces the Aum technique — the fourth of the core Kriya practices — alongside deepening instruction in all prior techniques. It prepares the student, inwardly and outwardly, for Kriya initiation.
The Kriya technique accelerates the spiritual evolution of the devotee — what might take a million years of natural evolution can be accomplished in a single lifetime
— Paramhansa Yogananda
Why learn with us
Kriya yoga for everyday life
Why meditate
Most people come seeking stress relief. Meditation is that, but it's also something far older and deeper — a direct path to your own true nature. Understanding this changes everything about how you practice.
Step by step
Techniques are shared step by step, each one given as you're ready. You'll always know where you are on the path and what comes next.
Feel it for yourself
We encourage you to experiment and feel the truth inwardly for yourself. Agreement with the teachings should come from your own inner realisation, not blind acceptance.
A path for householders
There's no performance of authority here — only a warm, human connection rooted in genuine friendship. Our teachers are householders themselves, sharing from lived experience. We're walking this together.
