What is Kundalini Yoga?

image

Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan is a 5,000-year-old authentic system of yoga exercise and meditation that promotes health, happiness, and spiritual awareness. It is a complete science that combines postures (asanas), movement, sound current (mantra), breath (pranayam) and meditation into powerful sets called kriyas. It is designed to provide you with the experience of your highest consciousness through the raising of your Kundalini.

The word “kundalini” literally means “the curl of the hair of the beloved.” It is a metaphor, a poetic way of describing the flow of energy and consciousness that already exists within each one of us. These practices enable you to merge with, or “yoke” with, the universal Self. This merging of individual consciousness with universal consciousness creates a “divine union” called “yoga.” *

It is universal and nondenominational. No matter what religious path a person follows, Kundalini Yoga helps you experience your personal beliefs in a deeper, more meaningful manner.

Kundalini Yoga is called the Yoga of Awareness. Practicing it allows you to build a healthy body, keep it in shape, increase your vitality, train your mind to be strong and flexible in the face of stress and change, make contact with your infinity and your innate inner wisdom as well as open the door so that you can fulfill your potential. It balances the glandular system, strengthens the nervous system, and enhances creative potential. Through yogic breathing techniques and meditation, peace of mind can be obtained giving an experience of deep inner calm and self-confidence. Kundalini Yoga gives you the vitality and health that is your birthright. It makes you radiant, peaceful and strong so that you can meet life’s challenges victoriously and with grace.

Through Kundalini Yoga people have healed themselves of the pain of physical illness, mental pressure, drug and alcohol addiction, and more. Because Kundalini Yoga develops the total person, practitioners also become more intuitive, sensitive, and subtle within the shortest possible time.
