7-Day Kriya Yoga Meditation Retreat & Initiation

In this 7-day Kriya Yoga meditation retreat, we dive deep into the practice of meditation. We strengthen our understanding of the inner world and consolidate ourselves in the experience of stillness and harmony.

The sacred science of Kriya Yoga is an advanced method of Raja Yoga that focuses on the mastery of life energy. This practice has the ability to strengthen and invigorate subtle currents of life energy in the spine and brain. Breath awareness, conscious work with the 7 chakras and the harmonious balance of the energy pathways, Ida, Pingala and Sushumna Nadi, are important aspects of this practice.

Kriya Yoga meditation is a profound spiritual practice that includes breath awareness, conscious work with the 7 chakras and the harmonious balance of the energy pathways, Ida, Pingala and Sushumna Nadi. It is both an awareness practice and an energy practice that generates deep insights and experiences of stillness and inner peace.

COURSE TEACHER:
Wolfgang was initiated into the Kriya Yoga tradition by Kriya Yoga Master Shankaranda Giri in 2008. This was when he first understood the importance and significance of a spiritual teacher and integrated the role of a guru into his life. Through the daily practice of Kriya Yoga, he quickly realized the incredible power and depth of this form of meditation and Kriya meditation became an integral part of his life. During a long stay at the Kriya Yoga Ashram of Shankaranda Giri, in India, Wolfgang met his second Kriya Yoga Master, Per H. Wibe. Over the years Wolfgang was initiated into the higher Kriya techniques and supported Per H. Wibe as an assistant in many Kriya retreats. In 2023 Wolfgang received the blessing of his master to teach the Kriya Yoga technique and to initiate new students into the Kriya tradition.
