Kundalini Yoga
Yoga is a science of self-improvement or of self-awareness. Yoga is used to manifest one’s highest potential and to connect to our greatest selves. Kundalini Yoga is one of the most spiritual forms of yoga and goes far deeper than the traditional poses.
What is Kundalini Yoga?
Kundalini Yoga combines movements or poses (asanas), breathwork (mantras or breathing exercises/techniques), meditation, and sound healing. The goal is to increase the strength & flexibility of the mind and body while also balancing the energetic body. Through practice, one achieves higher states of self-awareness and consciousness.
According to the Yoga Institute, Adi Yogi, or Lord Shiva, imparted the knowledge of yoga to humanity around 2,700 BCE and was supposed to promote humanity's material and spiritual well-being.
Kundalini means “the coiled one”. It represents the dormant energy that rests at the base of your spine. When the Kundalini is awakened, the energy travels up and through all your chakras to the top of your head, connecting to the divine energy. Sounds like fun, right?!
What are the benefits of Kundalini Yoga?
There are so many benefits to Kundalini yoga, but here are just a few:
Higher Self-Awareness KY practice leads to increased self-awareness, increasing your power and/or willpower, leading to better lifestyle choices.
Mental Strength & Clarity KY increases mental strength, agility, and resiliency while reducing anxiety, depression, and stress. It also improves cognitive function and boosts self-perception.
Increased Intuition or trust in your inner guidance or Wise One Within (WOW).
Energy Healing The physical poses are created to open or unblock stagnant energy flow, leading to a more substantial body, increased flexibility, and inner peace.
Nervous System Regular practice of Kundalini Yoga can reestablish stability and resiliency in the nervous system. Through training of the mind and breath, KY teaches you how to bounce back and move on quickly, leaving more time for rest and digestion.
Endocrine System KY balances the glandular system, which regulates hormone secretion, to support our stress, relaxation, connection & digestion responses, sexual function, sleep cycles, and overall well-being.
Spiritual Enlightenment KY will aid you in unlocking your highest potential, which will result in you becoming more spiritually connected to not only yourself but also those around you.
