Kriya Yoga: Action & Transformation
June 7th 10a-5pm Confluence Arts Center
with Laura Ahrens-James and Allegra Chabay
The Yoga of Action and Transformation:
The practice of kriya yoga is composed of three yoga philosophical tenets that are powerful agents of change and transformation. Kriya yoga is put forth in one of the earliest yogic texts as a method to remove even the biggest obstacles. This workshop will explore how it can be applied both on and off the mat so you can make things happen, move through any roadblocks, and keep taking action toward what’s most important to you.
