“The beauty of Kundalini Yoga is that if you
can just physically sit there, fix the automatic rhythm of your pranayam (breath
control), add a creative naad (inner sound), your mind becomes focused and
balanced.” – Yogi Bhajan
Kundalini
Yoga is a science that was long kept secret in India since it is a very
powerful form of Yoga. It was brought to the west in 1969 by a man called Yogi
Bhajan, as he believed it was very much needed for the people in the west.
Kundalini Yoga is more than just exercise to stimulate the body; it moves
energy and gives you an energetic experience. It can be a lifestyle; eating a
Yogic diet, routines on how to wake up in the morning, how to walk, talk and be in a certain way –
All to help you live your daily life in a healthier, happier and more conscious
way!
Kundalini is the nerve of our soul, the energy
of our consciousness. Kundalini Yoga is called the Yoga of Awareness. Awareness
of that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. In Kundalini Yoga we
work with body, mind and soul, which help us to become more aware of our
physical, mental and emotional condition - and influence them in a positive
way.
Kundalini
Yoga consists of simple yogic techniques that can be enjoyed by everyone, no matter
age or physical ability. It is a powerful and effective technology that uses
and combines postures (asanas), movement, sound current (mantra), breath (pranayam)
and meditation - with the purpose of freeing energy ( kundalini energy) in the
lower body ( base of spine) and allow it to move upwards.
When we
release (or awake) this kundalini energy, we become more conscious, more aware
of our truth, our inner potential. Awakened Kundalini can release blockages in
the mind, body and spirit; helping us to heal, nourish, and rejuvenate.
Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan has many benefits. It keeps you healthy,
reduces stress and tension, it gives you more energy, vitality and mental
clarity. It can help to prevent burnout, increase your feeling of inner joy and
peace. A regular practice of Kundalini Yoga strengthens the muscles, joints and
spine, removes toxins from the body, and helps the functioning of organs,
glands, blood circulation, nervous system & the immune system. Yogic
breathing techniques and meditation can give us peace of mind; inner calm,
balance and self-confidence.
