What is Kriya Yoga?

Kriya Yoga is an ancient meditation technique, brought to the west by Paramhansa Yogananda, and is also a comprehensive spiritual path of additional meditation practices and guidance for living.

According to Yogananda, Kriya is the most effective technique available to mankind today for reaching the goal of Yoga: union with the Divine. Kriya Yoga is so effective because it works directly with the source of growth — the spiritual energy deep in our spines.

Our Inspiration

Paramhansa Yogananda

Yogananda was the first great master of yoga to make his home in the West, coming to the U.S. from India in 1920. Ananda is based on the teachings of Yogananda and his line of gurus. His teachings are universal and take you to the heart of an intimate relationship with the Divine.

Swami Kriyananda

Swami Kriyananda (J. Donald Walters) is the founder of Ananda. In 1948, at the age of 22, he became a disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda. He dedicated his life to his Guru, bringing to life Yogananda’s vision of brotherhood communities.
