"The method which can directly and quickly rouse the life energy to effect healing I term ‘Life Therapy,' or direct healing by the rays of the inner Life Force."
—Paramhansa Yogananda
This course offers you a complete overview of Yogananda’s teachings and techniques of Life Therapy.
Yogananda introduced the practice of “self-healing with prana” through a series of exercises that enable us to draw directly from the unlimited source of cosmic energy – Prana - and to direct that energy where it is needed. With an increased flow of prana, we can revitalize any part of the body, establish mental peace and clarity, and render more dynamic and fruitful all aspects of our life.
In this course we explore the simple yet profound truth that Life Force (prana), when it is stimulated and properly directed, is the instrument of all forms of healing. "Physical diseases are many," Yogananda writes, "and are caused principally by the weakening of the Life Force … The greater the will, greater the flow of life-energy into a particular body part."
The Life Therapy exercises you will learn include:
- The Energy Recharging Exercises, which include 39 exercises that bring prana directly to the body cells, muscles, tissues and organs;
- The Superconscious Living Exercises, a series of 6 simple exercises which reset our mental outlook and activate a higher awareness;
- Pranic and Heliotropic Techniques that combine the healing force in the sun with prana
- Ananda Yoga asanas and pranayamasthat release the energetic blocks and mental tensions;
- Meditation techniques that focus the powers of the mind and calm emotional disturbances
The topics and practices included:
- Yogananda's six pillars of radiant health for body, mind, and spirit
- How to increase your reservoir of vital energy – prana
- Energy-producing foods and thoughts
- How to develop dynamic will power and use it for improved health and success
- How to strengthen your aura and protect yourself from negativity
- How to overcome fatigue and lack of enthusiasm
- Healing practices in nature (weather permitting)
- Creating your personal health program
The afternoon workshops are devoted practicing the principles and techniques learned in the morning sessions. By the end of the course you will have developed a healthful daily routine that keeps you energized, calm, clear and robustly healthy.

You can choose the option Yoga in Action for any course where this program is available and you can continue with this option as long as you wish. Your service project might change each day.
When we learn to serve with the right attitude, this is a spiritual practice and is called Karma Yoga. The daily practice of Karma Yoga is a joyful and practical spiritual discipline that will benefit every aspect of your life.
