Bryan Crigler has practiced and studied yogic teachings across multiple continents for over a decade. Part of Bryan’s philosophy is that one should always be a student and continue to dive deeper into a personal practice, as we can only really teach to others that which we experience and embody ourselves. Having a passion for studying the ancient yogic scriptures, he strives to integrate these teachings into his classes in a way that is easily understandable and relatable in the context of our current time. He began studying Kriya Yoga in 2015 and then started a more intense immersion under the tutelage of Ryan Kurczak in 2021. Bryan was authorized as a Kriya Yoga Meditation Facilitator by Ryan Kurczak in 2025.
