Experience pranayama (breath work), adhara asana (supported poses) and meditation to stimulate and rejuvenate the parasympathetic nervous system, allowing stress to evaporate.
Kundalini Yoga
Previously believed to be too powerful for the general populace, kundalini yoga is an ancient practice from India that has only been taught in public for the last 50 years. The Master who boldly began teaching it openly in the west in 1969, Yogi Bhajan believed that we each have a responsibility to better society through mindfulness and compassion, and he dedicated his life to making his vision of practical spirituality a reality.
Kundalini has a philosophical purpose to awaken your Higher Self - your truest and most complete potential. The sacred and scientific technology uses a dynamic combination of physical movement (asana), pranayama (breath), meditation (dhyana) and relaxation to activate a person’s latent energy and make it kinetic. Awakening this life force energy increases our nervous system’s capacity to both manage stress and more easily enter into states of true relaxation, brings about sustained states of happiness and fulfillment, and balances the endocrine system slowing down the aging process. Kundalini is also one of the most powerful tools for mental health. Using dynamic meditations, the practice can eradicate old mental patterning paving a path for new habits, ideas and inspiration.
*Ultimately there is a lot one can know about Kundalini Yoga and yet, you don’t have to know a single thing in order to try it out. Absolutely no experience is necessary and students can always modify any posture to suit their ability. It is a practice that meets you where you are and takes you where you want to go.
