Kundalini Yoga
Kundalini Yoga promotes health, happiness and spiritual awareness. It is a complete science that combines postures (asanas), movement, sound currents (mantras), breathing (pranayam) and meditation. This is an efficient and fast yoga that impacts your body, mind and spirit, elevating your consciousness so you can live a more centered and peaceful life.

Kundalini Yoga is well suited for the active person with many responsibilities. With a regular practice routine of Kundalini you will:

  • Build a strong, healthy and vibrant body which will help you feel happier and more alive.
  • Train your mind to live in the present moment; develop moment to moment awareness.
  • Develop deep calmness and self-confidence and experience a more serene peace of mind.
  • Contact your Infinite Self to feel radiant and draw on your own innate wisdom.

Kundalini is considered one of the most comprehensive yogas; it is also a science over 5000 years old. It was a well-kept secret and only passed on through word of mouth in India and Tibet until 1969 when Yogi Bhajan broke with tradition and brought it to the West.

Kundalini develops the whole person and not just the physical body; it allows the practitioner to become more intuitive, sensitive and subtle. It makes a person radiant, peaceful and strong so they can face life’s challenges and win. The purpose of Kundalini yoga is to enhance one’s relationship with their eternal spirit. It is universal and nondenominational. Regardless of which, religious path a person follows, Kundalini will enhance an individual’s personal beliefs in a deep and meaningful way.

They are designed to impact the mind, body and spirit as it relates to specific glands, organs, chakras and aspects of the nervous system.

Students will be introduced to different Kriyas throughout the session.

“It seems outrageously simple, but the effect on body, mind and spirit is so profound. Somehow it turns me into the essence of myself, and brings insight and balance to days that often used to run off track. And as a senior, I can say yoga is infinitely manageable and is gentle with the body.” – LO
“I have experienced a whole new sense of body awareness, and with the compliment of Kundalini yoga,a wonderful sense of well-being that persists long after the class is finished.” – ML
“It is a powerful living example of the connection between mind, spirit and body. I love it, and I love being witness to the commitment and openness of the participants in my class. They are truly inspiring.” – YD
“I have sustained two major back injuries due to severe falls and I have just been diagnosed with degenerative spinal disease…and I am only 45 years old. Years of stress in a highly charged atmosphere have added to my sense of chronic fatigue, sore joints and just general ill health. In the past 6 months, I have attendng faithfully one class a week. In this time, I have felt like a renewed person. It has strengthened my core and my spine. It has helped me to slow down, I feel more grounded and my emotions are more balanced.” – GR

“Yoga has never been described for what it is. It is an art and a science with which you can leap over the pitfalls of life. It is a science, and knowledge, and art, where mind and body can work in union and spirit will back it up.” ~ Yogi Bhajan, Ph.D. Master of Kundalini Yoga
“Keep up and you will be kept up.” ~ Yogi Bhajan, Ph.D.
