The Path of Self Knowledge
Ātmavidyā Yoga
Practical teachings rooted in the Kriya Yoga tradition — for those who are ready to look honestly at what's actually present.
(Donation-based, online, Wednesdays 7 AM)
You are welcome here.
The world is loud. Distraction is constant. Beneath the noise, most people sense something — a quiet pull toward a deeper understanding of what they actually are.
Ātmavidyā means self-knowledge. Not self-improvement. Not self-optimization. The direct recognition of what you most fundamentally are: pure awareness, temporarily veiled by the accumulated weight of habit, story, and conditioning.
This is what Kriya Yoga addresses — systematically and practically.
The practices are grounded in Patañjali's Yoga Sūtras and the Bhagavad Gītā, two of the most precise and comprehensive maps of human consciousness ever written.
They work. And they work for ordinary people living ordinary lives — householders, not monks.
If you've landed here, something brought you. That's enough.
This is for people who:
~ Are done with surface-level approaches and ready for something that actually goes somewhere.
~ Practice within an existing faith tradition and want to deepen it — or hold no religious affiliation at all and want to explore without being asked to adopt one.
~ Want direct instruction, honest conversation, and a teacher who will walk the path alongside them rather than above them.
~ Are willing to sit with the fact that genuine transformation is a process, not a product.

About Chris Knuth
Chris has been practicing Kriya Yoga since 2019. He runs a European automotive repair business, founded a nonprofit serving veterans and people in recovery, and has spent the last several years in intensive study of Sanskrit, Patañjali's Yoga Sūtras, and the Bhagavad Gītā.
His commentary on the Yoga Sūtras will be published in 2027. He teaches from direct experience — not from a position above his students, but from the practice of someone who is still walking the path.
