What is Kundalini yoga?
If down dog/up dog is not your jam and/or you’re ready to try something new….
Kundalini Yoga is commonly referred to as the yoga of awareness.
It combines postures (asanas), movement, sound current (mantra), breath work (pranayam), and meditation into a kriya (class structure).
You activate your body, voice and breath with each and every kriya raising your inner vibration and heightening your state of presence. This practice offers a holistic modality for internal transformation and spiritual connection.
So you’ll be doing some ecclectic movements such as arm circles with deep breathing, slapping the floor while you bend down or practicing your snoring to clear your mind (yes, it’s part of a kriya) or all of the above!
All kriyas are designed to awaken your kundalini energy, rooted at the base of your spine, and redistribute it throughout your body, removing any energetic blocks and replacing them with clean, radiant prana, or life force energy.
Physically, Kundalini Yoga helps build and maintain a healthy body, while increasing vitality, strengthening the nervous system and balancing the glandular system.
Practicing trains your mind and heart to be strong and flexible in the face of stress and change. It allows you to connect with your personal inner wisdom and help you foster a deeper connection with your own beliefs and values. It will cultivate peace, strength, and confidence so that you can meet life's challenges with courage and grace.
Through Kundalini Yoga, people have healed themselves of physical pain, mental distress and drug and alcohol addiction.
