4worldlovers:
As Yogananda said: “Self-realization means realizing your true Self as the great ocean of Spirit, by breaking the delusion that you are this little ego, this little human body and personality. . .”

Yogananda’s teachings are delightfully free of dogma. He delivered techniques and lessons that help us uplift our coinsciousness, ending ego-bound tendencies. He encouraged spiritual seekers to test the ideas he shares in the laboratory of their own lives, helping us discover that God is “nearer than the near; dearer than the dear”– knowable as the closest friend.

We use state of the art infrared heat panels instead of conventional heat. Infrared heat consists of invisible waves of energy emitted from specialized panels. Unlike forced hot air, infrared rays work similar to how the sun heats the people and objects it comes into direct contact with instead of the air. This allows the heat to penetrate beyond the skin, reaching internal organs and allowing the body to experience a more intense sweat at a lower temperature.
