"Think you can't meditate? This style of meditation is perfect for you! Experienced meditator? Super useful complement to what you're already doing. Kriya has become an invaluable part of my contemplative practice. And Keith is a skillful, patient, cheerful teacher. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to learn with him in person!"—Angela Alston, GCFP, MFA
Yoga is an array of ancient and recent practices developed to integrate mind, body, and spirit. At the heart of all the various forms of yoga today sits meditation, which is yoga in its essence.
Krīya yoga is a foundational Himalayan meditation system, based on the rāja or ‘royal’ yoga described in Patañjali’s classic Yoga Sūtra, which shows how to focus our attention inward to appreciate subtle aspects of our own mind and body, deeply enhancing our experience of life.
Ganesh Baba, teacher of Dr. Lowenstein, is in the direct lineage of Lahiri Mahasaya, described in the celebrated Autobiography of a Yogi.
ABOUT YOUR TEACHER
Keith Lowenstein, M.D., M.Div. has taught Kriya yoga meditation since 1980, passing down the life work of Ganesh Baba’s synthesis of how to modulate the human experience through the dynamic breath work and meditation practice of Kriya. In Ganesh Baba’s words, ”Kriya tunes up the human bio-psychic apparatus such that it can operate in its Optimal Operational Order.”
Keith spent five years living with and learning from Ganesh Baba. He was fortunate enough to be one of Ganesh Baba’s last students and spent those years practicing and teaching alongside him.
Keith also received Kriya yoga meditation instruction from Parmahansa Hariharananda whose teacher was Sri Yukteswar and Paramahansa Yogananda. Prior to Kriya yoga, Keith learned TM meditation in 1972 and in 1977 had other training with Hilda Charlton, a student of both Paramahansa Yoganada and Bhagavan Nityananda, the teacher of Swami Muktananda .
