KUNDALINI YOGA

In Kundalini Yoga we harness the mental, physical, and nervous energies of the body and put them under the domain of the will, which is the instrument of the soul. This thechnology precisely and consciously combines breath, mudra, eye-focus, mantra, body locks, and postures to balance the glandular system, strengthen the nervous system, expand lung capacity, and purify the blood. It brings balance to the body, mind and soul.

Kundalini Yoga is not a religion. When we apply the technology of Kundalini Yoga to our bodies and minds, it has the effect of uplifting the spirit. It is for everyone. It is universal and nondenomionational.

Kundalini Yoga is a yoga for householders, for people who have to cope with the daily challenges and stresses of holding jobs, raising families, and managing businesses. It is a path for everyone who wants the skills to cope successfully with the challenges of our times.

Kundalini Yoga was kept very secret until 1969 when Yogi Bhajan taught it openly in order to prepare humanity for the major changes that this planet is going through as we cross from the Piscean to the Aquarian Age. The ancient technology of Kundalini Yoga gives us the awereness and the fortitude to make this a smooth transition.. The legacy of technical and spiritual knowledge that Yogi Bhajan studied and mastered in India is the gift he brought to the West.

KUNDALINI YOGA IN PRACTICE

Kundalini Yoga uses a combination of postures (asanas), movements, breathing exercises (pranayama), sound, and mental focus to move energy through the chakras.

It consists of still and moving poses coordinated with breathing patterns. It also includes chanting and meditation. Kundalini sequences are still very physical, however, holding a wide appeal to people seeking both a physical and mental challenge.

In particular, sequences of Kundalini poses are called Kriyas, meaning action and movement. Along with mastering Kriya comes an ability to complete things and to change consciousness. The pranayama techniques are designed to intensify the effects of the poses, with the goal of freeing energy in the lower body to move upwards.
