What is Arhatic Yoga?


"The spiritual path is more complicated than the Amazon.
The Guru has already been through the “forest”.
Follow the guidance of the Teacher to avoid getting hurt."
-Grand Master Choa Kok Sui

"Arhatic Yoga" is a synthesis of various yogic techniques, including powerful meditations and energy-generating physical and breathing exercises, integrated into a step-by-step system that rapidly and safely accelerates the spiritual development of the practitioner. “Arhatic" derives from the word Arhat, which means "a perfected one" or "a highly evolved being. "An Arhat has well developed intuition, advanced mental powers, highly refined emotions and a strong desire to contribute personally to the uplifting of humanity.

Grand Master Choa Kok Sui, the spiritual master created Arhatic Yoga to enable people of various formal religious beliefs or philosophies, to have access to inner teachings that make it easier for them to pursue spiritual development while at the same time maintaining a 'normal' life. In Arhatic Yoga, the individual who wishes to pursue the spiritual path need not retreat from the world, their career or their current relationships. In fact, these pursuits are used to help the individual to further develop, through the daily challenges and interactions, as well as difficulties that may occur within the family, in the office, or in the contemporary lifestyle.

Arhatic Yoga has been specifically designed to allow the practitioner to maintain their initial religious or philosophic practice. Arhatic Yoga is further distinguished by its multi-leveled approach and its focus on purification, character-building and service. All Arhatic Yoga practitioners begin to learn the basics of spiritual development, as well as the fundamental meditations and breathing exercises, , that get their physical and energy bodies ready for the great amount of energy that their practice will generate.
