MARCH 2024 CLASSES

Sat Nam!

In March, we will have some fluctuations in temperatures just as our mood can experience some highs and lows. The positive mind of the #3 (3rd month of the year) can reach for the heights and think too positively without the balance of the negative mind's gift of "what could go wrong".  We can also get so depressed that we can think too negatively and find ourselves descending to the lows. 

There is a parallel of the #3 to the Pisces tendency to addiction. Either extreme can take us to cravings for food, drugs, alcohol, or other negative habits. 

If we develop a meditation practice, we can see the highs and lows from a neutral point of observation. By practicing this, we won't get angry or depressed when things don't go the way we imagine they should.  

A scientific study says that exercise is one of the best anti-depressants there is, so get out there and do some! The Chinese medicine approach to the seasons teaches us that Spring is the time when the liver/gall bladder energy is strong. This is the energy of wood and the color green, springing forth, growing, and expanding. When we don't live in harmony with this Spring/Wood energy there is a potential for anger and feeling stuck. Use the energy of exercise to move and channel these feelings and balance the negative mind!

The advantage of our Kundalini Yoga practice is that exercise is followed by meditation. In this month's kriyas we will stimulate the lymphatic and immune systems to move the stagnant toxicity of the cold winter months and open to the emerging Springtime energy. Our meditations will allow us to experience the positive mind.

See you soon in person or on Zoom on Friday mornings at 11:00. If that time doesn't work for you, you can get the recording to watch whenever you like.

Love, peace, and blessings,

Mukta

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.
