Kriya
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kriya (from the Sanskrit, "action, deed, effort") most commonly refers to a technique or practice within a yoga discipline. This type of kriya may vary widely between different schools of yoga. Kriyas are also spontaneous movements resulting from the awakening of Kundalini energy. Certain kriyas eventually developed into the asanas of hatha yoga.
Some specific Kriya practices are:
- Kriya Yoga, which widely refers to a specific form of yoga revived in modern times by Lahiri Mahasaya and popularized in the West by Paramahansa Yogananda.
- Kriya yoga also refers to specific yoga practices taught in the Satyananda Yoga lineage of Swami Satyananda.
- Sudarshan Kriya, a breathing process taught by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
- Techniques of Knowledge, a set of four kriyas taught by Prem Rawat.
- Yoga cleansing techniques like neti nauli
