Introductory Lecture on Kriya Yoga, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK: 2 May 2025

Kriya Yoga UK is pleased to announce the visit of Yogacharya Claudia Cremers to Edinburgh to teach Kriya Yoga from 2 - 4 May 2025. If you are interested in learning, there will be an introductory lecture on Friday evening and an opportunity to receive initiation and to learn and practise the techniques of Kriya Yoga on Saturday and Sunday.

Kriya Yoga is the ancient and mystical path to self-realisation. ‘Kri’ is the work or activity carried out by ‘ya’ the indwelling soul. Yoga is the union of individual self and Supreme Self. Kriya Yoga is a non-sectarian, scientific and practical meditation technique practised by sages and saints since time immemorial. Kriya Yoga leads to the transformation of the physical consciousness into Divine consciousness and is the essence of all yoga’s taught in the world.

In order to practise Kriya Yoga, one needs to receive initiation which can only be given with the grace and love of the Master through an authorised teacher, during which the body is purified and energised. The initiate may perceive Divine Light, Divine Vibration and Divine Sound in the whole body. There is no book or lesson to learn the Kriya Yoga techniques. Kriya Yoga emanates from beyond the five sense organs.

Registering for the introductory lecture will ensure that you will have a place for initiation on Saturday. You will receive details of initiation once you have registered. Please note that the cost of the initiation is £155 plus £50 seminar fee payable on Saturday.

We would also be grateful if you can complete all the relevant information on the order form as this will be used to ensure that your initiation is properly recorded.

The venue is easily accessible from the airport using the 100 Airlink or Airport Express buses, and just a 10-minute walk from the railway station.

Yogacharya Claudia Cremers was initiated into Kriya Yoga by Rajarshi Peter Baba in 1987 and met Gurudev Baba Hariharanandaji in 1990 in New York. Since then, she travelled frequently to India, Europe, and the USA to stay and meditate with Gurudev. She was authorised to initiate other seekers into Kriya Yoga in May 2007.

Claudia was born in the Netherlands, studied music and law in Amsterdam and post graduate government studies in Paris (ENA). From 1987 to 2012 she worked as a government official in international affairs. Since then she retired to the Sterksel ashram to devote more time to spiritual service and to teaching Kriya Yoga.
