Access the SRF Technique Classes
Become a Student of the SRF Lessons
The 2023 SRF Online World Convocation is open to all. However, three of the classes — on the Energization Exercises, Hong-Sau Technique, and Aum Technique — and guided meditation with technique review classes, are available only to those who are current or past students of the Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons. (Yogoda Satsanga Society of India Lessons students are also welcome, of course.)
If you are not a current or past student, we invite you to enroll now for the SRF Lessons so that you may participate in the classes on these powerful techniques, which are integral to the science of Kriya Yoga taught by Paramahansa Yogananda.
