Kundalini Yoga
'Kundalini' is an energy which resides within everyone. It exists as a catalyst for the natural state of grace we were born to embody. Kundalini, from the Sanskrit, meaning "coiled-up", refers to a latent force in us which is the catalyst for all forms of self-healing, higher cognition, and creative genius (maybe change to creativity?). Although labels differ, spiritual methodologies from many cultures recognize and revere this same energy of Spirit
Kundalini Yoga is a dynamic scientific system combining breathing, movement, stretching, meditation, the use of sound and rhythm, relaxation and meditation. Each class usually entails warm-ups, a specific sequence for the energy or day at hand, and a relaxation and meditation.
In Kundalini Yoga we want to proceed with the realisation that our true strength comes from within. We want to go beyond muscular strength alone, to faith in the flow of spirit. In light of this, breakthroughs become a way of life. Kundalini Yoga recognises that a strong nervous system and a healthy glandular system are pre-requisites to live a life full of radiance and abundance.
In Kundalini Yoga we garner an effect greater than the sum of the parts. Any exercise or set which fulfils this requirement is called a kriya. The literal meaning of the word kriya is completed action.
Each set in Kundalini Yoga works on many levels simultaneously, and has been formulated with the recognition of the working relationship
between the various energy systems that comprise us. Kundalini Yoga sees the body/mind as a holographic construct, meaning that each part contains the whole.
