What is Kundalini Yoga?

Kundalini Yoga combines repetitive physical movements and postures with rapid breathing techniques, known as pranayama, meditation, and chanting to create a holistic practice with the intention of awakening the kundalini energy that lies dormant at the base of the spine.

The movements and breathing exercises stimulate the flow of energy through the body, activating the chakras, or energy centres, of the body, clearing biomemory, and expanding our capacity, bringing more of us online. And the mantras used help to focus the mind and connect us with higher consciousness.

What is Kundalini?

Kundalini is depicted as a three and a half times coiled-up snake. This represents our infinite potential of being; the energy and intelligence that becomes available to us when we go beyond the mind, when we go beyond the mundane, when we transcend, accessing the state of Turiya (transcendental consciousness).
