Kundalini Yoga is an ancient and life changing practice. It is also referred to as the Yoga of Awareness; its focus is on self-awareness and delivering an experience of your highest consciousness. The technology of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan® is a science of the mind and body, to elevate the spirit, which has no boundaries, no discrimination. Therefore it is for everyone, universal and nondenominational.

Throughout a class one focuses on awakening the "Kundalini energy" illustrated as a coiled snake at the base of one's spine, with the goal of uncoiling this “snake” and allowing it to rise up to the crown chakra.

A Kundalini Yoga Class often includes:
1. Asanas (with specific body angles, vigorous postures at times),
2. Pranayama (with challenging breath work- i.e. breath of fire),
3. Mantra (ancient sounds with specific results from the Ghurbani language)
4. Mudra (movement of the fingers, corresponding with planets, motor sensors activated)
5. Eye Focus
6. Body Locks (such as Mulbandh)
7. Meditation

Each Kundalini class has its own Kirya - which is something you do to bring about a specific outcome. Practicing a kriya puts physical and mental changes in motion to simultaneously stimulate the body, mind and spirit.

Kundalini has an important role in the history of yoga. It is the cultivation of the creative, spiritual potential of a human. On the path of yoga, our effort is to awaken this energy so that we can live with more joy, happiness and fulfillment.

Kundalini practices are essential in these times of information overload, polarized ideologies, and disconnection. With knowledge and understanding of these practices, you can remove inner conflict, increase your radiance and find the inner reservoir of calm and peace Kundalini Yoga acts as a mirror. It reflects where we are on our path, acknowledges our strengths, and supports us as we journey to light up and grow in our areas of weakness. Each day, when we sit on our mats, tune in, and connect to our highest self, we are committing to that loving reflection. We are making the choice through our commitments to choose love and experience new ways of being. Sometimes this involves letting go.

Kundalini appeals to students from every walk of life because of its accessibility; a practitioner of Kundalini can fully engage worldly responsibilities while still achieving enlightenment. Kundalini Yoga aligns the body, mind and spirit through yogic postures, conscious breath, deep meditation and chanting, giving the practitioner access to their full potential.
