Meditation is one of the most natural and rewarding of all human activities. It gives direct, intuitive experience of higher realities, and is the cornerstone of true spirituality. It also brings balance, rest, and a growing inner peace. Ananda is one of the oldest and largest centers for meditation training in the Bay Area. Thousands of people from every walk of life have learned to meditate in Ananda classes over the past forty years.

Ananda Yoga is practiced in an inwardly centered way. It opens energy channels in the body, especially in the spine, and makes you more aware that the body itself is just a flow of energy. This is precisely the purpose of the Energization Exercises, which are the heart of the Meditation 2 curriculum. So Ananda Yoga with Energization is an ideal combination, increasing your understanding and proficiency in both practices.
Please wear comfortable clothing.

Why are some people always very energetic and happy, while others find it tiring even to smile? Energetic people have tapped into timeless, universal secrets for accessing and attracting an abundant source of energy and joy. Now you can, too. Join Luca Moschini, and learn Yogoda, a unique healing technique designed to strengthen, recharge and harmonize the body-battery at will to feel alive all the time.

Yogoda 2: Energization Exercises

The highest purpose of all exercise is to awaken the inner source of one's life energy. Join Luca Moschini in this transforming Yogoda workshop and experience the Energization Exercises, a series of divinely inspired body movements, to awaken and access that healing energy source. You will also learn concentration and meditation techniques and self-healing affirmations, enabling your to rise above self-limiting beliefs and utilize the endless power of energy that is always present within yourself.
Please wear comfortable clothing.

Yogoda 3: Deepen Your Practice

Are you gaining the maximum benefit in your practice of the Energization Exercises? When the answer is "Yes!" you feel a powerful and transforming flow of energy throughout your body. Yogananda developed the practice of energization to dislodge psychological and spiritual diseases from the inner Self. This class will help you bring out the healing benefits of the exercises and make them a vibrant and fun part of your sadhana.
This class is for those who have some familiarity with the energization exercises. Please wear comfortable clothing.
