Monday, 2 February, 2026
In this episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast, Bryan Crigler sits down with Kriya Yoga Teacher Ryan Kurczak for a wide-ranging, candid conversation that blends practical technique, experience, and the deeper questions that naturally arise on a committed spiritual path. This episode unfolds as a thoughtful dialogue shaped by Bryan’s real questions—many of them drawn directly from his own meditation practice and from conversations with fellow students. Together, Bryan and Ryan explore how Kriya Yoga actually shows up in daily life, especially once the practice begins to mature. They dive into nuanced territory, including: Working skillfully with Yoni (Jyothi) Mudra, subtle awareness, and internalization The role of imagination, emotion, and feeling as bridges to pranic sensitivity How to understand and relate to siddhis without distraction or ego inflation Cultivating and trusting intuition through truthfulness and embodiment Navigating dharma, social responsibility, and inner equanimity in a turbulent world Why spiritual practice often reshapes relationships—and how to meet that with clarity and compassion Letting go of alcohol and old social patterns while rebuilding healthy community and sangha Applying yogic principles to the most challenging arena of all: intimate relationships Throughout the conversation, Ryan offers grounded perspective drawn from decades of practice, teaching, and personal transformation, while Bryan brings the voice of a sincere, questioning practitioner who isn’t afraid to ask what many are quietly wondering. This episode is especially valuable for students who are moving beyond the basics of technique and beginning to grapple with how Kriya Yoga changes perception, priorities, relationships, and identity itself. Honest, reflective, and deeply human, it’s a conversation about what the path really looks like as it starts working.
