What is Supreme Yoga?

Supreme Yoga is a breakthrough approach to yoga postures designed to give you the experience of Meditation in Action. Supreme Yoga is a dynamic system that unites hatha yoga postures (asanas) with sacred contemplations and breath control to uplift you to a state of higher consciousness, giving you the experience of a quiet mind. This unique approach was conceived and established by Siddha Meditation Master Acharya Kedar, the spiritual head of Supreme Meditation. He has created and interpreted the contemplations used in Supreme Yoga to facilitate the experience and benefits of meditation that include rendering the mind peaceful and the body fit.

Supreme Yoga is a healing art and approach to fitness that unites the mind with the body in a way that reduces stress and the fatigue caused by stress. Supreme Yoga quiets a restless mind, calms the nervous system, restores energy balance and, over time, teaches you how to be more mindful of your breath while engaged in activity. Supreme Yoga is also very useful in preparation for the practice of sitting meditation.

What Makes the Experience Supreme?

The secret to deriving the maximum benefit from any Yoga posture is in your ability to hold that posture while freeing your mind of all thoughts, anxieties and frustration. This is not the kind of Yoga class where the instructor barks out commands for people to get into Hatha Yoga postures, like a coach calls plays at football practice. In our classes and intensives, you maintain silence while filling your awareness with a guided Contemplation. The Contemplations given at the moment the postures are taught and held, serve to increase your ability to hold postures while, at the same time, causing your mind to become silent.

In this way, you are able to use the variety of Yoga postures we teach to take your experience of Yoga beyond the realm of the senses, so that you can begin to experience your Natural, Free State of Being, as your focus is guided past the physical body and into the realm of your own higher Consciousness. This is the purpose of Supreme Yoga.

About the Teachers

Supreme Yoga has been further developed and is taught by Anugraha Bakshi and Lakshmi Satya Devi, two of Acharyaji's students. Both have been instructed by Acharya Kedar in how to lead the Supreme Yoga classes and 1-Day Supreme Yoga Intensives.

Anugraha Bakshi

Anugraha Bakshi has been a devoted student of Acharya Kedar since June of 2005. She also assists Acharyaji and manages the Ashram music department. She was introduced to Hatha Yoga and Meditation as a young girl of eight when she began practicing the classical Sivananda style of Yoga asanas, a deeply meditative style of postures firmly rooted in Vedanta philosophy. She continued along the Sivananda path to earn her title of Yoga Siromani (Instructor of Yoga) from the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Dhanvantari Ashram in Kerala, India, in 2003. Anugraha applies her experience in Energetic Healing to her teaching approach.

Lakshmi Satya Devi

Lakshmi Satya Devi was initiated into the practice of Supreme Meditation four years ago when she met Acharya Kedar. She has been practicing Kundalini Yoga for 13 years and also teaches Supreme Yoga. Lakshmi serves as the head chef for The Spanda School. She is a graduate of The Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts and of The Institute for Integrative Nutrition. She has established her own natural, organic skin care line.

"Supreme Yoga is truly supreme! No other approach to yoga postures has gifted the amazing experiences and benefits I am blessed with by practicing Supreme Yoga,” shares Lakshmi. As she immersed herself in this practice, Lakshmi learned the art of rising beyond the limitations of the mind which, as she found out, are the only limitations prohibiting the functions of the body. Through a dedicated practice of Supreme Yoga, Lakshmi has reversed a strong case of childhood scoliosis (spinal curvatures), painful hip displacement and compressed vertebrae that greatly restricted her range/extension and prohibited her ability to gain mastery over yoga practice.

As Lakshmi helps to bridge the gap between yoga and meditation by developing and teaching Supreme Yoga, she delights in her newfound freedom of ever-increasing flexibility, strength and inner joy, that she has never known before.
