What is Kundalini Yoga?
Kundalini Yoga is a spiritual system of yoga that awakens the dormant energy (Kundalini Shakti) at the base of the spine using kriya, pranayama, mantra, mudra and meditation. Known as the "Yoga of Awareness", it activates the seven chakras to bring physical vitality, emotional balance and spiritual expansion.
Kundalini Yoga is a strong practice of physical locks (bandhas), pranayama, mantras, meditation and mudras designed to unlock the hidden potential in the human body. The energy - called Kundalini - is believed to reside at the base of the spine and, once awakened, moves upward through the seven chakras to help the practitioner attain spiritual and physical perfection.
This style of yoga is aimed at balancing the body's energy centres or chakras for balanced physical, emotional and spiritual health. Although yoga has many types, only Kundalini Yoga focuses so completely on inner transformation, making it ideal for introspective seekers. It is a stress-free, focused and inner-peace-yielding practice - a life-transforming course for every person involved. If you would prefer a shorter first experience, our 5 day yoga retreat in Rishikesh is an ideal introduction. You can also read more about the tradition on Wikipedia’s Kundalini Yoga page.
