Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini Yoga uses Asana, or yoga poses, yoga breath, or Pranayama, and concentration and meditation to cleanse and manipulate the energy passages and nerve channels of the body towards mental and spiritual health. Kundalini is visualized as a serpent coiled at the base of the spine. In visualization, you will be able to see that a coiled serpent is the picture of potential energy, capability and agility. So is the energy within our energy centers called 'chakras'. Though the term is used in New Age lingo, it is a term that has existed for centuries meaning 'circle, wheel' describing the movement and flow of our personal psychic energy. This energy connects with our psychic field, referred to as the aura. Kundalini Yoga is the only type of yoga that makes reference to an eighth chakra, the aura.

Kundalini is a universal term and practice and is non-denominational. It is a practice of yoga exercise and meditation to strengthen our life force and combat disease and sickness. Introduced to the West in 1969, yoga chanting and Mantra was also introduced as a vehicle for higher being. Kundalini Yoga brings awareness to every individual of personal awareness and true ecstasy.

Yoga practice of postures, meditation and breathing patterns create a pathway to creative potential. The chakra system along the spine is the center of mental function as well as our nervous sysem and can bring stress relief and increased concentration capacity and purpose.

Kundalini Yoga Practice is recommended to be followed with a guru to assist and guide the different sensations that are felt when stimulating the chakra system. When consciously practiced with good intention, the subtle energies of the body can bring mental clarity, open-mindedness, balanced mood and behavioral awareness.
