Surya Kriya
A potent yogic practice for health, wellness and inner wellbeing
Surya Kriya is a potent yogic practice of tremendous antiquity, designed as a holistic process for health, wellness, and complete inner well-being. “Surya” means “sun,” and “kriya” means “inner energy process”. It balances a person’s left and right energy channels, leading to stability of the body and stillness of the mind. This strong foundation becomes the basis to explore higher dimensions of life.
Traditionally available only to select groups of yogis, Surya Kriya is being offered by Sadhguru as a comprehensive spiritual practice that is ideal for the hectic pace of today’s world.
Benefits include:
- Develops mental stability and focus
- Corrects weak constitution
- Increases energy and vitality
- Balances the hormonal system in the body
- Prepares a person for deep states of meditation
What to Expect
Surya Kriya is taught by CHYTA teachers as a complete inner practice, not a physical workout:
Practice Format
A seated and standing sequence combining posture, breath and inner attention, practiced with steady focus rather than physical exertion.
Who It's For
Anyone seeking mental stability and inner balance, and a foundation for deeper states of meditation — no fitness background required.
Learning Path
Taught directly by a certified CHYTA teacher over a multi-day program, then practiced daily at home, ideally at the same time each day to build consistency.
In Other Words…
Surya Kriya simply turns you on. It is not a workout. It is a harmonization and activation of the system — just tune in through that energy and suddenly everything turns on. That's what kriyas are about. Kriyas are not about pushing you in a certain direction - they are about aligning everything correctly. When everything is aligned, then everything runs smoothly and there is no friction. Where there is no friction, there is no wear, no irritation, no stress. When something functions without friction, it can last forever.
