About the Meetings

We introduce Sahaja Yoga through a series of topics. Click here for details about the five-week course.
Each week a different topic is covered, so that after five weeks a beginner has a good grounding in Sahaja Yoga theory and practice. Newcomers are always welcome--previous weeks' notes and information are available each week for anyone who has missed a topic.
Sahaja Yoga is an inner yoga. The process of becoming a more relaxed and balanced person requires no physical or mental effort. Some discipline is required at first to develop the habit of a daily 5 or 10 minute meditation at home.
We usually begin the evening with a guided meditation, where everyone in the room enjoys a peaceful state of silence and calm. The evening includes a video of a talk by Shri Mataji, the founder of Sahaja Yoga, and a brief lecture and explanation about one aspect of Sahaja Yoga. Hands-on demonstrations of Sahaja Yoga allow beginners to master balancing and cleansing methods.
Our main goal is that everyone can experience the nurturing flow of their inner energy.

What to bring, what to wear

The meeting takes place in a beautiful hall with a view of the Hudson River. Wear loose, comfortable clothing. You can bring a folder to keep your weekly handouts in, if you like.

The essence of Sahaja Yoga is enjoyment

In addition to meditating together, we sometimes express our inner joy through music and dance.
