RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Develop Steadiness with the Kurma Nadi

Discover the secret to greater stillness and steadiness

One of the great skills of life is steadiness, to be able to persistently apply our consciousness toward goals that are important to us. Discover a yogic practice that will help balance the nervous system and bring more steadiness and stability into our lives.

Higher Yogas Classes, Meditation, Helpful Qualities, Gunas

Steadiness and Stability

We’re talking about a very high thing called kurma nadi. Nadi means nerve currents. Kurma refers to what is often called the tortoise tube. This focus is one of the most effective ways to develop more steadiness and stability in your life.

  • This practice focuses on the kurma nadi, a center called the tortoise tube located in the chest
  • Meditation on the tortoise tube brings greater steadiness
  • Discover how to use the kurma nadi practice to move beyond the gunas (the three powerful forces that affect our lives) and experience the soul

How to Succeed

As you may know, we do not charge for our courses. All Yoga World content is free and available to you with our blessings. However, we do have a simple, but important request that’s key to the transformations necessary to succeed on the path.

We ask you to commit two hours a week to selfless service. This service can be anything you choose ranging from helping a family member or neighbor to volunteering at a nonprofit organization.

I Commit to Serve

This commitment is solely between you and your inner self.

Why the Commitment?
