What is Kriya Yoga?

In Sanskrit, ‘kri’ stands for ‘action, to do.’

‘Ya’ stands for ‘Atman, Soul.’

Kriya stands for an action which leads us to evolution, expansion, and liberation.

What to expect:

Crystal will provide gentle, but firm, guidance through a comprehensive yoga practice, transmitted by masters in the Yog-Vedantic tradition, originating from an ancient Himalayan lineage.

It is an integrative approach and practice consisting of pranayama (breath practices), dhyana (meditation), mantra nada (the power of sound), kriya (energy work), laya (devotional aspect, the Feminine), chi (subtle energy balancing), partner work, freedom movement, and asana (hatha, vinyasa, static/dynamic postures). Many of the practices are done seated and involve energy work, so it is suited for those who have experience with yoga or maintain a consistent sadhana (spiritual practice) of their own.

We’ll start with our breath / pranayama - because everything starts and ends here -

to ground and center us into the space and practice.

Then, we’ll learn and practice a series of kriyas

to generate fire in our naval center / belly.

A bit of movement to allow the energies to move freely.

Coming to center… and ending with Silence.

What to expect after / through continuously showing up:

Self-mastery; mastery of the mind
Increased energy
Awakening / Activation
Better ability to focus, be present and aware
Removing of toxins / blockages in your physical and energetic body
+ a host of additional benefits and optimizations

About the Facilitator, Crystal

In the spirit of not identifying myself with what I do, I…

Seek Truth
Practice Union with the Divine through Yoga
Desire to Share Gifts, Heal, Accept, Love, Hold & BeHeld - Unconditionally!
Have Reverence for Nature and Her Beauty and Majesty
Create Intentional Sacred Spaces for Co-Creation through Joy, Connection, Play, Light, Transcendence, Devotion, Bliss
Learn, Listen with Presence, Love Unconditionally (at least this is what I choose)

I believe everything is energy. What you choose to devote your energy to through attention and time is the most important series of decisions you’ll make, and will inevitably determine the quality of your life. We are here to serve one another, the Collective, in our own beautiful and unique way. How you show up in life, in your daily interactions, that’s it. It doesn’t matter who you are, you have a sphere of influence that you directly impact, and then it reverberates outwards. Everything is connected. Fluid, and in constant Flux.
