Kriya Yoga The Practice of Discipline & Freedom.png

Date: Saturday, October 31, 2026 | Time: 09:00 – 14:00 Led by: Yoga Master Shahid Khan

Theme: Abhyasa & Vairagya in Body, Breath, and Mind.

​

In our fast-moving modern lives, we often fluctuate between extremes: over-effort and exhaustion, control and collapse. This 5-hour Yogveda Master Workshop uses the original wisdom of the Yoga Sutras to restore balance.

​

The Definition of Kriya Yoga 

It is vital to return to the source. We teach Kriya Yoga exactly as defined in Chapter 2 of the Yoga Sutras (Sutra 2.1): as the "Yoga of Action."

It is not the mystical breathing technique of a modern brand, but the psychological roadmap to freedom, consisting of three essential pillars:

  1. Tapas (Discipline & Inner Fire)

  2. Svadhyaya (Self-Study)

  3. Ishvara Pranidhana (Surrender & Trust)

We use these principles as practical tools to master the dynamic balance between willpower and letting go.

​

Why This Workshop is Vital Today 

Most people struggle with internal instability:

  • Inconsistency in practice and life routines.

  • Mental overactivity and difficulty switching off.

  • The constant feeling of "doing" without true presence.

The Yoga Sutras present the solution: Mastery is achieved through consistent practice (Abhyasa) and the ability to let go (Vairagya).

In this workshop, you will learn to integrate these principles directly into your body and breath.

​

The 4 Pillars of Experience 

We weave the philosophy directly into the Yogveda Method:

1. Steady Asana Practice (Tapas)

We use discipline to generate heat and burn through blockages.

  • Structured sequences for endurance and stability.

  • Long holds promoting resilience and mental discipline.

  • Precise alignment as a form of self-mastery.

2. Self-Study in the Body (Svadhyaya) 

Observe yourself within the challenge.

  • Where am I holding unnecessary tension (jaw, shoulders)?

  • How do I react to resistance?

  • We use the body as a mirror of the mind.

3. Pranayama & Surrender (Ishvara Pranidhana) 

Learn to let go of the result.

  • Breath techniques to regulate the nervous system.

  • Finding the balance between control (Inhalation) and surrender (Exhalation).

4. Meditative Integration 

The observation of effort versus letting go.

  • Cultivating stillness amidst sensation.

  • Experiencing mental clarity through pure awareness.

​

Your Benefit: From Effort to Ease 

This workshop is ideal for anyone seeking the depth of yoga beyond modern trends.

  • Mental Stability: Tools to manage stress and emotional reactivity.

  • Physical Freedom: A deeper connection to breath and body awareness.

  • Consistency: A practical method to build sustainable routines in life.
