“Kundalini Yoga is the original and most powerful of
the twenty-two schools of yoga, all of which are beneficial. The Yoga Sutras
(writings) say that what you can achieve in 12 years of Hatha Yoga, plus 6
years of Raj Yoga, plus 3 years of Mantra Yoga, plus 1 year of Laya Yoga CAN be
accomplished in 1 single year of perfectly practiced Kundalini Yoga”
Kundalini
Yoga is Raaj Yoga (ancient sacred yoga) and includes all 8 limbs of Patanjali’s
in each complete set. This means you work on the entire spectrum of body and
mind as a whole system to get an experience when practising. Instead of
focusing on perfecting the posture, Kundalini Yoga uses kriyas to achieve a
specific result. A Kriya is a set of exercises which includes postures, breath,
sound and movement; with the purpose to raise the awareness quick and direct.
The purpose
of Hatha Yoga is the same, but with the difference that it takes many years of
practice to reach perfection in the posture, and about 15-20 years to raise awareness
in that way. Hatha Yoga is the mastery of polarities, using static postures and with focus on
perfecting them, whereas in Kundalini Yoga there are many dynamic postures with
vigorous movement, combined with pranayam (breath), mantras and meditation.
Kundalini
Yoga is a form of 7 different yoga-styles; among them is Hatha, Raja and Laya
Yoga. Kundalini Yoga is the “Yoga of the householders”, meaning it is designed
for people who have “normal” lives – So if you do not have time to sit and
meditate all day long, or don’t want to wait 15-20 years to raise your awareness;
Kundalini Yoga can do the work for you in less time. :)
