Kriya Yoga Association of New Zealand (KYANZ) is a part of the worldwide network of Kriya Yoga International organization (KYIO), headed by Paramahamsa Prajnanananda and represents an unbroken lineage of Kriya masters.

KYANZ is a not for profit organisation, run entirely by volunteers and subsidised by virtue of donations.

Our vision is to make Kriya Yoga available in New Zealand and create a healthy environment where Kriyavans can intensify their spiritual practice, grow and ultimately become Self Realised.

Our mission is to promote the authentic original Kriya Yoga as taught by Paramahamsa Hariharananda, Paramahamsa Prajnanananda or their authorized Kriya Yoga Swamis.

To facilitate Kriya Yoga in New Zealand, KYANZ organises an initiation program every year in October. After initiation new initiates are supported by a loving community of Kriyavans (initiated members).

KYANZ also organise residential retreats in the divine presence of Paramahamsa Prajnanananda in New Zealand. This further intensifies and deepens Kriya practice, thus leading us towards our ultimate goal of self-realisation.

KYANZ facilitates Guided Group Meditations, twice a week.
