Q. What pace do I start out with as a beginning student in Kundalini Yoga?
A. As a beginning student, participate at a pace that suits your flexibility and endurance.
Q. As a beginner how often should I come to class?
A. There is no set requirement for beginners to come to class, come as often as you like. We have many payment options that give you the opportunity to come to class as frequently as your time and budget permit. Because yoga is exercise a steady practice is recommended so you body can adjust to its' new level of fitness.
Q. Do I need to start with "Beginner's classes?
A. No, but if you are totally new to yoga or have practiced for a long time and never quite got all of the basics you might really enjoy our beginners’ series, or beginners’ intensives. These courses are designed to help you learn all of the basics, answer any of your questions, get to know some other ‘new’ people and enjoy the somewhat smaller class setting with the individual attention given to beginners.
Q. When should I arrive for class my first time at Kundalini Yoga East?
A. Try to arrive at least twenty minutes before class starts. This will give you time to sign in, have your questions answered, store your belongings, change into your exercise clothes, use the rest room if needed, meet the other students, and get oriented to the store and the yoga room.
Q. What is recommended to wear to a Kundalini Yoga class?
A. Wear modest, comfortable light colored clothing, preferably made of cotton or other natural, breathable fiber. It is best to remove your socks when you practice Kundalini Yoga. Wearing white clothes increases your electro-magnetic field (aura), your personal awareness and makes it easier for the teacher to see how you are breathing and moving during class.
Q. How long do I need to wait after I have eaten to practice Kundalini Yoga?
A. It is good to wait about two hours after eating before you practice yoga and meditation. This will help you gain the maximum benefits, plus it is easier to exercise on an empty stomach. If you must eat, a piece of fruit is all right.
Q. What does it mean to "tune in"?
A. Each Kundalini Yoga class begins by “tuning in” with the mantra Ong Nam Guru Dev Namo. This sets and calms the mind to be open to guidance, and calls on the lineage of Kundalini Yoga teachers for protection and guidance during the yoga practice. This is called the Golden Chain.
Q. Why does a Kundalini Yoga class always end with a closing song?
A. Every Kundalini Yoga class finishes with the song "May the long time sun shine upon you, all love surround you. And the pure light within you, guide your way on." and a "Sat Nam." This song of blessing helps to ground you, integrate the benefits of the yoga and prepare you to resume the activities of everyday life.
"There is nothing right or wrong, thinking makes it so."
