Ep 2 What's kriya yoga? | Before The First Breath #KriyaYoga #Pranayama #Spirituality

What is Kriya Yoga, really? Is it just a breathing exercise, or something far deeper? In Episode 2 of Journey with Kriya Yoga, we explore the meaning of Kriya Yoga: the Sanskrit root kri (“to do”), Patanjali’s three principles of tapas, svadhyaya and Ishvara pranidhana, and why surrender is at the heart of the path. You will also hear why Hatha Yoga is taught first to prepare the body and mind, and why the Kriya tradition says the inner journey begins in the womb. Before the first breath, the yogis say, prana flows through the sushumna in a state of unity. Then the first breath brings ida, pingala and duality. Kriya is the journey back.
