MAY 2024 CLASSES
No Class on May 3, 2024
Sat Nam!
The month of May can be especially enjoyable if we keep our physical body happy. In the study of numerology, we have ten bodies, even though what we usually think of as our "body" is just the physical one. The others are the mental and the etheric bodies. Just as you can wear many layers of clothing on a winter day, we have many layers of bodies to serve our human needs.
In terms of the physical body, we need physical exercise in order to keep our glandular and metabolic systems tuned up. Our yoga classes this month will concentrate on the physical (5th) body. We are making the change from cold weather habits into warm weather habits. We need to have a good thermostat (our thyroid gland) in order to maintain digestion and weight and our classes will help tune-up our glandular system, including the thryoid. We will also feature some prosperity meditations to keep our earth plane experiences productive and successful.
We will start this 4-week class series on Friday, 4/26. We will not have class on 5/3 and will have class on 5/10, 5/17 and 5/24 from 11:00 - 12:30 in person and on Zoom. If you register for the whole month, you will also get a recording of the classes that you can watch anytime.

Introductory Class to Kundalini Yoga
Saturday, June 8, 2024 - 10:00am to 1:00pm
In the Yogic tradition, Kundalini is the latent spiritual energy within every person that can be awakened by the practice of yoga. Kundalini Yoga is the original and most powerful system of yoga. We use sets of exercises (kriyas) that include yogic postures and movements (asana) with meditative focus (dhristi), breath work (pranayama), and chanting (mantra).
In addition to strengthening the health and well-being of the physical body, it is very useful for emotional balance, mental clarity, stress relief, and personal transformation. In this introductory class, you will learn techniques that can form the basis for a daily practice (sadhana).
The class will be taught by Mukta Khalsa, who has practiced and taught Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan for over 50 years. She holds the 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) Certification having taught over 5500 hours of yoga. She is a Certified Lead Trainer for the Aquarian Teachers Academy of the Kundalini Research Institute. Mukta and her husband Dr. Gurusahay Khalsa, D.C., DiplAc., have taught Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training courses in Atlanta for over 20 years.
This class will be in-person in Dunwoody, GA. It will also be streamed, live, on Zoom. See the registration information, below.

KUNDALINI YOGA
Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan® is a dynamic form of yoga that combines breath, movement, meditation, rhythmic sound, and deep relaxation. It is practical for the average person because it works to release tension and energize in a short period of time, regardless of the degree of flexibility or experience.
These classes are taught in the tradition of Yogi Bhajan who first brought Kundalini Yoga to the West 50 years ago, in 1969. This yoga is taught in specific sequences of exercises (Kriyas) that create optimum health by strengthening the immune system, balancing the glandular system, and creating a heightened level of awareness.
