Meditation is the cornerstone of techniques brought to us by Paramhansa Yogananda. Weekly meditations are held at the Center and are open to all. We offer beginning and intermediate meditation classes, as well as preparation for the Kriya Yoga technique. Whether you already meditate, or are just learning to, the meditation classes will support your spiritual progress. While tuition is requested for meditation classes, our weekly meditations are always free-of-charge.

Meditation Classes

The Center offers regular introductory meditation classes, as well as a twice-yearly Raja Yoga/Kriya Preparation class. Please contact the Center for details.

Kriya Yoga

Kriya Yoga is a technique of pranayama (energy control) taught by Paramhansa Yogananda and described in his spiritual classic, Autobiography of a Yogi. When practiced during meditation, Kriya greatly accelerates one's spiritual progress. Yogananda said that "Kriya, controlling the mind directly through the life force, is the easiest, most effective, and most scientific avenue of approach to the Infinite." The Santa Rosa Center offers Kriya preparatory classes, with Kriya Yoga initiation available at Ananda Village.
