The Assisi Institute
Located in Rochester, New York, The Assisi Institute is a place of stillness, silence, and peace. Their mission is to support individuals who seek a deeper relationship with God.
They study and practice two spiritual traditions: Kriya Yoga, a yoga of breath and meditation, and Mystical Christianity. Kriya Yoga was brought to the United States in 1920 by the great Hindu guru and author of the classic, Autobiography of a Yogi, Paramahansa Yogananda. Their Christian gurus include Jesus, St. Francis of Assisi, and others. All study and practices are compatible with any spiritual tradition, or no tradition. They take their name from St. Francis of Assisi, who lived a life of silence, community, service, and joy.
About The Assisi Institute
Chris first discovered this beautiful community in 2022 through his teacher, Ryan Kurczak. Ryan was co-presenting a week-long retreat, Kriya Yoga - The Path of Light, at the Assisi Institute. During this retreat, Chris met Isha Das and Swami Nirvananda. Both have since become dear friends, mentors, and brothers on Chris' spiritual path.
You are invited to attend the Thursday Kriya Service, either in person or on Facebook Live. The institute also offers many online and in-person classes, such as The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
