YTA Presents Master Yoga Teacher Glenn Black

Yoga Teacher’s Association (YTA) kicks off its program year Saturday, September 12 at 1:30 pm with a workshop “Kriya Yoga and Yoga Nidra” presented by master yogi Glenn Black.

During the three hour workshop Glenn Black will guide participants through an exploration of the deeper, non-physical levels of yoga practice with the transformative practices of kriya yoga and yoga nidra. He will present pranayama breathing techniques, which relaxes the body and prepares for yoga nidra (yogic sleep,) a systematic method for moving into deeper realms of consciousness similar to the dream state. The workshop will include Chankramanam (yogic roving or movement), a practice of awareness and presence in all activities, such as walking and eating. Additionally, arohan and awarohan, a technique that enables practitioners to access the ascending and descending internal energy pathways, will be discussed. Together, these practice form the essential foundation of Kriya Yoga, one the most powerful methods for yogic development.

Glenn Black, a renowned and highly respected yoga teacher with 40-plus years’ intensive study of yoga, meditation and movement began Kriya Yoga studies in the mid 1970s with the Bihar School’s Swami Vivekananda, studied with B.Y.S. Iyengar in India, and is a longtime student of Swami Satyananda. Like the ancient “forest yogis,” Mr. Black has devoted years to intensive practice in solitude. He leads workshops and retreats internationally.
