About Me

I'm Priya Friday-Pabros. A black, New York born, wife, sister, daughter, minister, spiritual director, and yogi. I currently live on the East Coast of the United States with my wife of 19+ years, our German Shepherd Bella and our crazy calico kitty Mz Katnizz Everpurr. A few things I'm passionate about are sacred music, yoga philosophy, interspirituality, and the creativity of humans. My primary passion is sharing the spiritual science of Kriya Yoga.

I am an Acharya (respected teacher) in the Kriya Yoga Lineage of Lahiri Mahashaya, Swami Sri Yukteswar, Paramahansa Yogananda, Roy Eugene Davis, and my guiding teacher, Yogacharya Ellen Grace O’Brian. I am a Senior Kriya Yoga Teacher and Associate Minister affiliated with the Center for Spiritual Enlightenment, where I continue to study with my teacher.

My spiritual journey began in earnest at nineteen after reading Autobiography of a Yogi, which led me to seek a living teacher and ultimately to my initiation into Kriya Yoga in 2002. I was ordained in 2005 and have been serving in this tradition ever since.

My intention is to offer my life in service to the spiritual awakening of individuals, families, communities, and our world, beginning with myself.

I offer instruction in Kriya Yoga meditation and lifestyle practices, sacred music, and individual Spiritual Direction.
