"Kundalini Yoga teaches you the techniques and awareness to stay
healthy. You gain strong immune, glandular and nervous systems. This foundation
gives you energy and lets you deal with the mental and spiritual facets of your
life.”
-Yogi Bhajan
Kundalini Yoga
Kundalini Yoga, also called the Yoga of Awareness, uncoils the infinite creative
potential within. This powerful spiritual energy, known as kundalini, coils in
the sacrum at the base of the spine. Through a complex system of yoga postures,
excercises, breath (pranayam), sound (mantra) and meditations, this sacred energy
can be accessed.
One of the ways Kundalini Yoga is set apart from other forms of yoga is that many of the exercises are very dynamic and active, involving movement with breathing patterns creating a rhythmic exercise. These exercises work to open the body, increasing circulation, flexibility, and energy. Many of the exercises are designed to give flexibility to the spine, as the spinal column is one of the foundations of physical health. As we increase the flexibility of the body and spine, we develop a youthful body.
Kundalini Yoga exercises also work directly to balance and stimulate the glandular system and strengthen the nervous system, promoting greater physical and mental health. After each class students feel energized, uplifted, and relaxed. Students see and feel the results of their efforts quickly.
"Kundalini Yoga is not a religion. Religion comes out of it. Kundalini Yoga is not a fad, and it's not a cult. It's a practice of experience of a person's own excellence which is dormant and which is awakened."
-- Yogi Bhajan
