A Journey Within

Cultivate Consistency, Awareness & Inner Transformation

Forty-eight days provide an extended period in which a practitioner can move beyond occasional practice and develop a stable rhythm of sadhana. At Avasthanam, the program combines Kriya Yoga practice with meditation, pranayama, Hatha Yoga, mantra, yogic philosophy, silence, self-observation, and a sattvic residential lifestyle.

The intention is not simply to complete a course, but to cultivate consistency, awareness, and a deeper relationship with one's practice.

Guidance by 18 Siddhas Yogi Raj

18 Siddhas Yogi Raj guides the Kriya Yoga initiation and the progressive sadhana of the program. He comes from the Siddha Yoga Parampara of Tamil Nadu, a tradition deeply associated with the spiritual culture of South India and the Siddha heritage.

Within the program, the teacher's role is to introduce the practitioner to the discipline of Kriya Yoga, explain the principles behind the practices, guide meditation and breath awareness, and support students in establishing a consistent personal sadhana.

*The specific initiation process, practices, and level of instruction are provided according to the teaching tradition and the practitioner's suitability.
