Our thoughts shape our energy, and our energy shapes our reality. ✨

Yoga is not only movement — it’s a science of training the mind to look for the good, to uplift our consciousness, and to dissolve the habits that pull us toward heaviness or delusion. 🌿

In Autobiography of a Yogi, Yogananda shows how thought can make the body sick or well, gain or lose weight, uplift or depress. 📘

Where we place our attention determines how we feel and who we become. 🌟
The mind can be restless like a monkey 🐒, but the body is accessible. Through Ananda Yoga’s energy‑based approach — combining posture, breath, and silent affirmation — we guide the mind toward clarity, joy, and our true soul nature. 💛🧘‍♀️

Learn how to practice yoga supportively for scoliosis!

🕉️🌟Ananda Yoga is not about fitting the body into the pose, but practicing the pose in a way that supports your growth and integration in body, mind, and soul. Modifying a yoga pose in this case is a sign of wisdom and strength, not weakness!

Yoga isn’t a fitness trend — it’s an ancient transmission kept alive through lineage. 🧘

Passed from student to teacher, from guru to disciple, yoga carries a vibration that has been protected and preserved by generations of self‑realized masters.

🕉️ Ananda Yoga is rooted in the Kriya Yoga lineage of Self‑realization — a lineage that shows us how to use these techniques to awaken higher consciousness. Their vibration guides our practice even today.

Ananda Yoga and meditation weren’t invented; they were passed down by yogis who dedicated their lives to finding God — and to sharing God with others.

✨ Neutral poses in Ananda Yoga are what set this practice apart from most modern yoga styles.

They are a conscious pause between active asanas, where you can re-center and take the time and space to relax and feel effects of the previous pose. ☮️🌟

On the outside, neutral asanas in Ananda Yoga may look effortless, but on the inside they require you to develop high energy, alertness, and presence, which is the key to spiritual growth! 😇🙌🕉️

Swami Kriyananda shares that He Bhagavan is a traditional Indian chant that can help us go deeper into meditation by singing more and more deeply this simple thought of “O Lord, O Lord.”

✨☮️The antidote to restlessness is to find rest in the process of doing rather than in the consequence of doing.

Restlessness comes from trying to seek fulfillment outside of ourselves and outside of this moment.

🔑The key to overcome restlessness is a quick shift in energy and perspective and begin to seek peace and prosperity within and in the moment by doing everything with the consciousness you seek. For example, if you seek peace, slow down, breathe deeply, relax your shoulders, and do your duties with peace, patience, and centeredness.

🧘A helpful yoga pose to strengthen inner peace is Vrikasana (Tree Pose).

As you shift your weight to the left foot, open the right hip and place the right sole of the foot on either the left ankle, calf of thigh, choosing the position the brings you the most inner stability. 🌲

With the next inhalation, circle the arms overhead in prayer as you breathe deeply and mentally affirm with calm conviction: “I am calm. I am poised.”

Throwback to our 2025 YTT graduation, closing our journey with Swami Kriyananda’s song based on St. Francis’ prayer, “Make Us Each a Channel of Thy Peace.” ✨

Moments like this remind me why we teach and practice: not to perfect postures, but to be a channel of peace, love, and divine joy for every student who shows up and everyone we meet.

🙌🙏🏼This prayer expresses the principles and ideals that guide our training and our community.

Our next cohort begins September 5, 2026 – May 9, 2027. 🌟
