Chaitanya (Christian Ebner) has been dedicated to Yoga and Meditation practice as well as the transmission of the teaching for more than a decade. Over several years, a deepening journey into the unknown changed him profoundly, establishing Yoga at the center of his life. He co-founded a Yoga center in Cusco, Peru, where he lived and taught Yoga. In 2014, his spiritual quest led him to initiation into Babaj’s Kriya Yoga. Following 7 years of devoted Kriya Sadhana, including longer tapas periods at the Ashram in Quebec as well as in Badrinath, India, he was inducted into the Order of Acharyas. Currently Chaitanya lives in Austria with his family, where he has founded a Yoga Ashram called Kriya Mandiram. Besides monthly Satsang and weekly Yoga Courses and Group Meditations the Ashram offers regular Silent Meditation Retreats as well as initiations into Babaj’s Kriya Yoga, and is now offering Hatha Yoga Teacher Trainings.
