What to expect in a Kundalini Yoga Class

Tuning In

When we practice Kundalini Yoga, we tune in by chanting ‘Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo’ connecting us to the purity of the infinite teacher living within each of us.

Breath (Pranayama)

Breath is life energy itself. When we learn how to breathe consciously, we can calm our minds and master all aspects of our lives.


Kriya

A kriya is an exact, dynamic combination of postures (asana), breathing and sound – a complete system that balances body, mind and soul, and increases mental clarity and physical vitality.

Meditation

Meditation brings awareness and control of our thoughts. Using mantra (sacred sound currents repeated aloud or silently) and mudra (sacred gestures) we can clear negative patterns and connect with our higher consciousness.

Preparing for a Class

Ideally avoid food for 2 or 3 hours before a class Wear loose fitting clothing Bring a bottle of water with you and drink plenty
