THE ART OF KRIYA
EVOLVE
w/ Deidre Norman3 Friday Nights
May 10th, 17th and 31st
5:30-8:00PM$150
Kriya means Evolutionary Action. And what does "Evolutionary Action" mean? Let's break it down: In Sanskrit, "Kri" means action, to do; and "Ya" is another name for Soul (or Atman). So, kriya means “action that leads us to evolution, expansion and liberation.”
In this upcoming 3-session series, we will dive deep into the subtle body and the powerful practice of kriya yoga. Each 2.5-hour session will be part lecture, part discussion and kriya practice. Be prepared to move the body for part of our time together. You will be offered a different kriya set each week to practice to further deepen your inward journey.
Session 1: Kundalini Energy
What is Kundalini Energy? Myths vs Facts. Learn how the practice of Kriya can help us cultivate this powerful Kundalini energy to align with our Higher Self.Session 2: Shiva and Shakti Energy
Shiva and Shakti are fundamental concepts that represent the masculine and feminine aspects of the divine energy or cosmic consciousness. Learn about how these energies relate to each other and how to balance them through Kriya.Session 3: The 5 Vayus + Strengthening our Auric Field
Learn about the 5 Vayus, why they are important and how to activate them through Kriya practice. -

Agni, the digestive fire is a core principle unique to Āyurveda. When healthy, it sustains life and is a key factor in an individual's overall wellness.

Svastha translates as health in sanskrit. Sva (own, one's own) and stha (standing, being situated in, existing) meaning being established in one's own self. We will discuss Āyurveda's expanded definition of health incorporating daily and seasonal routines to promote Svastha. -
