What is kundalini yoga?
Kundalini Yoga is a practice that focuses on the movement and transformation of energy to achieve physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual well-being by literally clearing the distortions stored in the body and mind.
It’s known for its immense transformative abilities which many describe as exhilarating, euphoric, and powerful.
A Kundalini class is made up of a Kriya, Meditation and Shavasana (relaxation). A Kriya is a deliberate combination of physical postures (asana), hand positions (mudra), mantras (prayer/intentions) and breath patterns (Pranayams), that impact the flow and quality of energies in the body. The channeling and redirection of energy is a core principle of Kundalini Yoga.
A Kriya is made up of a series of Asana’s combined with Pranayams, madras and mantras. Just as Pranayams helps to cultivate and distribute prana (life force energy) throughout the body, asana helps to direct that energy flow. A major role of asana in Kundalini is to clear and strengthen, stabilize, and open the body to receive its own vital energies. The position of your body dictates in part how those energies can circulate.
