Founded in 1970 by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Sahaja Yoga is a worldwide meditation practice. What makes Sahaja Yoga unique is that it begins with Self Realization — the awakening of your inner energy. This leads to a state of thoughtless awareness, where you can truly experience the present moment. You naturally become more balanced, centered, and connected, enhancing your well-being and relationships.
