“Yoga” means more than physical positions. “Living Yoga” means to awaken to your own highest potential and to see oneself as part of the greater life of all. “Living Yoga” brings calmness, intuition, health and vitality to daily life. Hatha Yoga (Ananda Yoga) enhances meditation as “meditation in movement.” Combined with the Life Force control techniques such as the Energization Exercises (tension exercises), we learn meditation in stillness and meditation in action: thus, meditation “all the time!” The more we live centered in the Self within, the greater is our ability to joyfully meet the demands of everyday life.

The postures are intended to change our whole being. And that being is an irradiation from within. What we are within (a perfect being), we will be without.

About Ananda Yoga
Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi, shared asanas, pranayama, mudras, and bandhas with his close disciples.
His direct disciple, Swami Kriyananda, organized these teachings into a complete system—Ananda Yoga—presented in The Art and Science of Raja Yoga.
Today, Ananda Yoga continues this tradition, integrating body, mind, and soul.

“How can I put into words that which has only begun to take roots in my heart & soul? And yet I cannot & would not deny the inner light ignited by this incredible program….So incredibly grateful for the guidance and inspiration I have received. It is so far beyond anything I had anticipated.”
- J. W.

✨ Keys to Higher Awareness – Day 9 ✨

Key #9: Embrace Awareness
“Don’t merely wish for broader awareness: Embrace it. Never fear it. The way out of life’s difficulties is not to deaden one’s consciousness to them, but to see them always in relation to broader realities.” – Swami Kriyananda

Reflection
True awareness demands courage and active participation. It's not enough to merely wish for clarity or insight; we must actively welcome each experience as an opportunity to expand our consciousness. By embracing awareness, even challenges and obstacles become valuable teachers, guiding us to perceive life in its fuller, richer context.

🧘 Practice Tip
Today, pause for a few moments throughout the day to observe your thoughts, feelings, and reactions without judgment. Notice how awareness alone can bring clarity, calm, and insight into situations that previously felt overwhelming.

🌟 Invitation
Awareness grows through practice. Explore how yoga and meditation can help you deepen your clarity and inner calm. Learn more about our weekly offerings at Anandawa.org
