Kundalini yoga is a physical and meditative discipline that creates a communication between mind and body. It is sometimes called “the yoga of awareness” because it awakens the unlimited potential that already exists within every human being by linking movement with breath. Kundalini is a concentrated form of prana, or life force energy. Its direct focus is on activating and moving this energy through the body with emphasis on the breath. The goal is to change how we breathe, making it more conscious and helping us to reach tranquility and serenity.
Kundalini yoga is similar to other yogas in that it can be a challenging and rigorous exercise in movement. It consists of bodily postures, expressive movements, utterances and breathing patterns. Several of these techniques include: cross-legged positions, straightening the position of the spine, controlling the breath, mantras and closed eyes. Research shows that yoga is good for achieving increased balance, strength, flexibility and improved feelings of health and wellbeing.
