Kundalini Yoga

I use Kundalini yoga sets and meditations as one resource for you to release your habitual and dysfunctional patterns stored in the tissue memory, in the neurological brain pathways, and in the energetic subtle bodies.

"Every body has a capacity. Every mind has a frequency. You have to bring the two together, and then you have to find out who you are. That is the easiest way to live happily."
Yogi Bhajan

What is Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan?

Kundalini Yoga is is the yoga of awareness and the science and technology of energy

The Kundalini energy is the energy of the soul and your creative potential. It is something that already exists within you but is simply waiting to be awakened and utilized. To release this energy from it's dormant state and live in alignment with your fullest potential, your Infinite Self, you can utilize this time-tested and effective technology.

Kundalini Yoga is done in specific sets called Kriyas. 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. 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. At times it can be aerobic, at times it can be quiet and reflective, but it is always a unique and uplifting experience.

To gain a full appreciation of the depth and possibilites within Kundalini Yoga, I recommend you try at least three separate classes or kriyas.

Who Can Do Kundalini Yoga?

Everyone! Kundalini Yoga is the ultimate expansion tool designed specifically for busy householders like you!

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.

How Kundalini Yoga Works

Kundalini yoga awakens energy and builds flexibility, endurance and awareness by using:

• breath
• posture
• mantra (specific sounds which tap into various frequencies of energy
• mudra (specific hand positions)

Working below the surface, it balances the glandular system, strengthens the nervous system and enables you to control your mind rather than allowing yourself to be controlled by your thoughts and feelings.

Although both Kundalini Yoga and Hatha Yoga can achieve the same end goal of uniting your finite self with your Infinite Self, Kundalini Yoga takes you on the fast track and gives powerful results in a short time. It is yoga designed for the busy householder juggling all the pieces of life so it needs to work fast!

Only 3 Minutes to get Positive Results.
