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).
What are the benefits of Kundalini Yoga?
People practise Kundalini Yoga for a variety of reasons, including physical health, mental clarity, emotional well-being, and spiritual growth. Let’s look at some of these benefits in more detail below:
Stress Reduction
Kundalini Yoga includes practices such as breathing exercises, meditation, and chanting, which help to reduce stress and anxiety and promote relaxation.
Physical Health
Kundalini Yoga can improve physical health by increasing flexibility, improving muscle tone and strength, and reducing the risk of injury.
Energy & Vitality
So much more energy becomes available to us through this practice. We access more of our potential. We become more fully alive.
Mental Clarity
Kundalini Yoga can improve mental clarity and focus, and boost cognitive function.
Emotional Well-being
This technology can help to regulate emotions, by reducing stress and anxiety levels and promoting relaxation.
Increased Self-Awareness
Kundalini Yoga aims to awaken the kundalini energy, which lies dormant at the base of the spine, and connect the practitioner with a deeper part of themselves, increasing self-awareness and expanding the consciousness state.
Immunity Boost
This practice has been shown to boost immune function by reducing stress and inflammation in the body.
Enhanced Intuition & Creativity
As more energy flows through us, we gain access to more of ourselves. Our intuition increases and our creativity flows more freely.
