Kundalini yoga is often referred to as the “Yoga of Awareness”. It is a blend of postures, conscious breathing, mantra, music and meditation. Class typically begins with an opening chant to “tune in,” followed by a warm-up focusing on the spine, then progresses into a series of postures called a “kriya” which are practiced with specific breathwork and often accompanied by mantra (chanting), culminating in a final relaxation or meditation phase, all aimed at activating the “Kundalini energy”. Classes can help to balance body and mind, enabling one to experience the clarity and beauty of soul.
