“I came into the Kriya Yoga course at Parmarth Niketan not knowing much about yoga besides the poses from Hatha yoga, the breathing of pranayama, and that there is a spiritual side to yoga. Very much a novice I felt kind of thrown into the deep end in this advanced meditation course. However, the staff at the ashram taught me so much and eventually I came into my own. Indu and Mataji are incredible teachers. They helped a newbie like me understand the complexities and unique ways of this meditation and have opened my eyes to the true side of yoga. Seeing I needed some guidance, Valentina helped point me in the right direction of learning the basics of yoga to give me a better foundation. In addition to that, Satsang and Ganga Aarti are incredible experiences that I will never forget and are worth the visit alone.”
