What is Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini Yoga is an ancient and synergistic form of yoga practiced for centuries in India and the East. It incorporates the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of yoga into a cohesive and integrated system.

Much of Kundalini Yoga was kept secret until Yogi Bhajan first came to America to teach it in 1968 and founded the 3HO Foundation. Kundalini Yoga is dynamic in its’ practice, vast in practical information and powerful in its experience. 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. It is perfect for people who want both the immediate and long-term benefits of yoga and a relaxed and uplifting experience of consciousness.

These classes are designed to give you a survey of highly practical Kundalini Yoga techniques. You will learn and practice physical postures, breathing exercises, stress release and relaxation techniques, guided imagery and affirmations, mantras, kriyas, and meditations.

The benefits will be enhanced health and well being, greater physical flexibility, a more comfortable back, stronger and balanced immune, digestive, eliminative, and nervous systems. You will gain greater calmness, clarity, creativity, and improved concentration, a working understanding of the mind/body connection, and a self-guided ability to relax and rejuvenate the mind, body, and spirit.

"Kundalini yoga classes are a dynamic blend of postures, pranayam, mantra, music and meditation, which teach you the art of relaxation, self-healing and elevation. Balancing body and mind enables you to experience the clarity and beauty of your soul. No previous experience in yoga is required for you to achieve results with your very first class.

[People] of great knowledge actually found out about the chakras – their workings, their petals, their sounds, their infinity, their co-relationship, their powers. They found that the life of a human is totally based on these chakras. This total science gave birth to Kundalini Yoga." - Yogi Bhajan
