Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini yoga is a style that practices specific postures, chants, breathing exercises. and hand gestures in order to activate one’s kundalini, or “coiled energy.” Kundalini poses can differ from other styles of yoga, such as vinyasa or ashtanga yoga, and the practice is regarded as much more spiritually based.

In a kundalini yoga class, you can expect to begin with a meditation or chant, followed by various postures and “kriyas”—a term used to describe sequences of postures, chants and breathing exercises. Kundalini kriyas are specifically designed to move and control coiled energy from the base of the spine up through the body’s system of chakras.
