Kundalini Yoga is the yoga of awareness and the science and technology of energy.
Kundalini Yoga is a dynamic style of body-mind exercises combined with breath,
postures, and mantras to tap into various frequencies of energy to balance body, mind and spirit.
In addition to increasing physical flexibility, strength and stability, Kundalini yoga promotes the health of the nervous system, the glandular & endocrine system, and the cardiovascular system. Along with the nervous system, yoga enhances higher brain functioning and allows for conscious control of the mind.
The internal changes from yoga persist throughout the day and are reflected by positive changes in your mood and behavior. Because Kundalini Yoga is for the busy householder, it is designed to be powerful and efficient which means in as little as only 3 minutes, you can get positive results.
At times it can be aerobic, at times quiet and reflective, but it is always a unique and uplifting experience.
Kundalini Yoga is done in specific sets called Kriyas. There are literally hundreds of different sets and meditations each geared towards a unique focus but which all have the common goal of balancing the chakras and bringing healing and harmony to the bodymind.
These sets combine poses and exercises to create a specific, cumulative effect.
Because of the composite and balanced effect, it is important to follow the integrity
of the set and not add, delete or change the order of the exercises or alter the time
ratio of the sequence.
To gain a full appreciation of the depth and possibilities within Kundalini Yoga, I recommend you try at least three separate classes or kriyas.
Everyone can do Kundalini Yoga
If you can breathe and lean in the right direction of the exercise, you will get benefits! No particular level of physical fitness is necessary. Since you can only be where you are in any given moment, you start wherever you’re at and build from there.
The key is to listen to your inner wisdom and only do your best. Your best is not perfection or doing the ideal of the pose. Your best is the balance point between being lazy and being fanatical. It is accepting where you are in each moment and doing what you are fully capable of in that time and space…no more, no less.
