KUNDALINI YOGA

Kundalini Yoga is an ancient technology and study allowing the practitioner to peel back layers of habituation, distraction and stress to discover their deepest and most authentic Self. Through sequences of breath-work, repetitive movements, static postures, mantras, eye-gazes, visualization, meditations and more this dynamic practice invigorates and activates each student to build awareness, presence and grit.

Suited for all levels, some classes are physically demanding, while others require more mental stamina. Ultimately the practice of Kundalini Yoga fosters deep meditation, calms the mind and develops expanded consciousness. Kundalini Yoga focuses on the student’s inner experience and not the outward appearance. Teachers will describe but not always demonstrate or practice exercises throughout the class. Follow guidance as best you can, keep up and rest if discomfort ever becomes pain. 

Practitioners can experience a greater sense of well-being, focused energy and clarity of purpose with as little as one class.

Why the white clothing?

Most people have experienced how wearing different clothing can change how you feel. Each color you put on your body can affect your mood. Wearing all red feels very different than wearing all black. White is all colors of light combined. Wearing all white can help expand the aura and lift the mood. Please wear whatever you want to class. If wearing white feels supportive to your practice, wear it.

What's with the turban?

Kundalini Yoga + Meditation cultivates a lot of energy in the human body. The head-covering uses specific energetic points on the head to seal that energy in. Yogis who practice deep meditation without covering their head sometimes experience headaches. It is respectful to the Sikh tradition to cover the head while reading or reciting Gurmukhi mantras.

And the sheepskins?

The sheepskin helps shield the person in meditation from the shifting magnetic field of earth. It also holds the energy of the practice. Often people will experience calm and peaceful energy in spaces of deep meditation or prayer like an monastery, church or temple. Meditating on a sheepskin makes that peaceful space portable. In the past, Yogis acquired deer or tiger skins when the animal passed of natural causes. For contemporary times, it was described using sheepskins that were specifically a byproduct of the meat industry, humanly treated and were not tanned using harmful chemicals.
