Should I do Yogananda's preperatory exercises before starting Kriya Yoga?

[Magnanimous]

5 minutes ago I was reading Autpbiography of a Yogi, the authors note where Yogananda recommends before starting Kriya Yoga I should do some preparatory exercoses created by the SRF foundation.

Is that actually necessary? Never heard of Leo talking about doing prep exercises before starting a Kriya Yoga habit.

Did you read the entire book? I'd stick to finishing one thing at a time and then allowing time and space to integrate (feel out) the teachings and or apply them, see what feels right and what doesn't. There are no right or wrongs, even if Yogananda or Christ says so.

You are the true barometer of your life.
