  • Build an effective meditation routine that will cultivate a direct experience of Samadhi – Oneness/Clarity
  • Bring forth a greater sense of spiritual awareness through the dedicated practice of Kriya Yoga philosophy and meditation.
  • Deepen one’s understanding of yogic philosophy as it relates to the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and appropriate sacred texts.
