What is Kundalini?
Kunda means coil & lini means line…
Our kundalini energy which is often defined as a coiled serpent 🐍 of energy (think of it as a storehouse of “prana” or life force energy) that rests between our navel center and tailbone.
Kundalini energy awakens and aligns the mind body and spirit through a combination of pranayama (breath work), mantra (sound chanting) and asana (postures). This is the “yoga of awareness” where we intentionally stoke our energy centers (chakras) for feedback. We listen deeply to feel what we need to heal. We cultivate a feeling of being “at home” no matter the circumstances of life.
Kundalini Yoga teaches us that we are not just our physical body but also our soul, our mind, our arcline, our aura, our pranic body, our subtle body and our radiant body. During kundalini yoga classes, you will stretch your physical body thoroughly and energetically pull your kundalini shakti energy up from your first chakra all the way up to the crown chakra (and back down for grounding). This practice creates waves of consciousness that can lead to authentic healing and a focus on the soul to guide you in fulfilling the purpose of your life.
