It is a dynamic, powerful tool that is designed to give you an experience of your soul. In KY we harness the mental, physical, and nervous energies of the body and put them under the domain of the will, which is the instrument of the soul. This technology precisely and consciously combines breath, mudra, eye-focus, mantra, body locks, and postures to balance the glandular system, strengthen the nervous system, expand lung capacity, and purifiy the blood. It brings balance to the body, mind, and soul. KY is not a religion. When we apply the technology of Kundalini Yoga to our bodies and minds, it has the effect of uplifting the spirit. It is for everyone. It is universal and nondenominational.

Kundalini Yoga is the yoga of awareness.Have a pillow or cushion to elevate yourself on during meditation and seated postures if needed.Have a yoga mat or blanket (natural fiber) to sit on and a shawl or second blanket to cover yourself during relaxation and meditation.Ĭovering the head keeps your energy and focus internal. If you need to modify any of the exercises, visualize yourself doing the posture instead and come back into the pose if you can.Drink water as needed between exercises.Listen to your body do what works for you. Incorporate what you experienced in class into the rest of your life, particularly the “simple” things like long, deep breathing and a graceful, royal posture.Ī central aspect Kundalini Yoga is the conscious application of ancient mantras and modern positive affirmations.Pay attention to your physical, emotional, and mental self. Mantras are typically in Gurmukhi, a sacred Indian language, and occasionally, in English. These mantras contain the vibrations of peace, prosperity, connection, and many other qualities and are understood by their impact, even if the meaning of each word is not known. We “tune in” with this mental projection using sound to center within the higher self and spiritually guide the teacher and the student. Meaning: ”I bow to the subtle divine wisdom, the divine teacher within.“ We start out every class with the Adi Mantra, chanted 3 times.
