Classical yoga and meditation

The Kriya Yogi explores classical yoga and meditation through the original texts, with a simple habit: read the source, practise carefully, and see whether the two agree.

What is learned is written down in plain words, so this knowledge remains useful and accessible to anyone.

The site grew from years of personal practice and study — the Yoga Sutras, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the Gheranda Samhita, and the living kriya tradition — and from a frustration with how this material is usually presented online: either diluted into wellness slogans or wrapped in claims nobody can check.

So every guide here follows the same rule. What the ancient texts say, what tradition has made of it, and what modern research can actually support are kept separate and labelled. Where something is a matter of faith or lineage, it is presented as exactly that. Where something is simply not known, we say so.
