Kundalini yoga is also called the «yoga of awareness».

Kundalini means Consciousness. The purpose of this practice is to raise awareness, just like the other styles of yoga, but in the case of kundalini Yoga the effects are achieved much faster.

The practice of Kundalini Yoga is according to Yogi Bhajan teachings.

«In Kundalini Yoga the most important thing is the experience. It goes straight to the heart»

Yogi Bhajan

The practice of Kundalini Yoga seeks the awakenning and raising of Kundalini energy (the energy of consciousness) This energy remains asleep at the base of the spine, where our first chakra is located. This kundalini energy, when awakened, rises through the central energy channel located along the spine towards the chakras or higher energy centers to expand your consciousness, to connect you to your soul.

That connection to your soul will allow you to be aware of your fears, your insecurities, it allows your mind and your emotions to understand things from neutrality, and ultimately to live a happier life from acceptance and inner peace.

«Kundalini Yoga gives you the inner strength to face the outside world. That’s why you need it every day, to be able to face the difficult times, because otherwise they get worse. Without your inner strength, you can’t face your life. You need perpetual resistance. And that’s what Kundalini Yoga is all about»

Yogi Bhajan

A Kundalini Yoga class begins with Adi Mantra and is followed by a warm-up. The main part of the class is the Kriya (a set of dynamic exercises that combines physical postures and breathing exercises and may include a mantra meditation). Followed by the final relaxation, a meditation and another chant (The Long Life Sun) to close the practice.

Each Kriya and each meditation have a very specific purpose and effect (e.g. kriya for the kidneys, kriya to strengthen the aura, kriya for intuition, etc.) however all kriyas work to strengthen the nervous system, balance the glandular system, purify the body and calm the mind.
