About this Event
Kriya Yoga UK is pleased to announce the visit of Yogacharya Annelies van Haaren to Newcastle upon Tyne to teach Kriya Yoga from 7 - 9 March 2025. If you are interested in learning, there will be an introductory lecture on Friday evening and an opportunity to receive initiation and to learn and practise the techniques of Kriya Yoga on Saturday and Sunday.
Kriya Yoga is the ancient and mystical path to self realisation. ‘Kri’ is the work or activity carried out by ‘ya’ the indwelling soul. Yoga is the union of individual self and Supreme Self. Kriya Yoga is a non-sectarian, scientific and practical meditation technique practised by sages and saints since time immemorial. Kriya Yoga leads to the transformation of the physical consciousness into Divine consciousness and is the essence of all yoga’s taught in the world.
In order to practise Kriya Yoga, one needs to receive initiation which can only be given with the grace and love of the Master through an authorised teacher, during which the body is purified and energised. The initiate may perceive Divine Light, Divine Vibration and Divine Sound in the whole body. There is no book or lesson to learn the Kriya Yoga techniques. Kriya Yoga emanates from beyond the five sense organs.
Registering for the introductory lecture will ensure that you will have a place for initiation on Saturday. You will receive details of initiation once you have registered. Please note that the cost of the initiation is £155 plus £50 seminar fee payable on Saturday.
