Awareness of the Soul
ATMA means - "soul" in Sanskrit
KRIYA is "action done with awareness"
YOGA means “Union”
Your soul is a spark of the Divine.
Atma Kriya Yoga helps us to fully realize this Divinity within.
Kriya, is the awareness we bring to life itself.
With Atma Kriya, our awareness shifts from our limitation, to our unlimited nature as pure Love.
Yoga is union with the Divine.
Through Atma Kriya Yoga, we attain the true goal of yoga - awareness of our soul’s loving relationship with the Divine in every moment.
“I started eagerly practicing yoga at age 15, teaching at 19, and essentially ‘fell out of love’ with the physical aspect of the practice. Later on, Atma Kriya gave a completely new life to my relationship with yoga. Through the various techniques provided, I feel connected to this Divine essence in a way my previous practices weren’t capable of providing. Atma Kriya was certainly the missing key.”
—Moriah, Boulder, CO
“Despite being earnest in my attempts to meditate prior to learning Atma Kriya Yoga, there was always some lingering doubt or concern that perhaps I wasn’t doing it properly, or perhaps a different technique would be better, etc. etc. But receiving this spiritual practice which was prescribed by a living enlightened Master allowed me to trust it much more fully - which in turn allowed me to enjoy it more fully and go much deeper.”
—Jeremiah, Eugene, OR
“Atma Kriya Yoga is something I look forward to doing everyday. It's a time when nothing else matters, it's just time for quieting my mind, being with the Divine and opening my heart. This time is like no other. I can sit and find peace, forgiveness & love. It has changed my life in so many different ways; the most important being acceptance of who I am. I will forever love this practice and all that it brings to not only me but everyone around me.”
—Samantha, Rochester
"Atma Kriya Yoga came into my life when I was least expecting it..."
Atma Kriya Yoga came into my life when I was least expecting it and it changed it in the best possible way. Personally, this has been such a wonderful journey of rediscovery of who I really am and what my purpose in this life is. To me it has become a lifestyle, my daily spiritual food that keeps me centered and strong through the ups and downs of life and that showers me with unconditional love no matter what. If you are considering taking Atma Kriya Yoga don’t let your mind stop you, just go for it! You will not regret it.
