About Kundalini Yoga: Kundalini Yoga is a technology based on an understanding of the ecology of the human body. Saints and sages throughout the ages learned how blood, nerves, muscles, organs, and glands work harmoniously together. Hand positions (mudra), breath (pranayam), sound (mantra), posture, meditation, and motion are employed to invite optimal physical, mental, emotional and spiritual balance within the Kundalini Yoga practitioner. Kundalini is derived from the word “kundal” which means, “coil” or “lock of hair from the beloved”. Kundalini lies relatively dormant at the base of the spine. Kundalini Yoga systematically awakens this “coiled up” energy resulting in subtle, yet phenomenal, life changing experiences. Yogi Bhajan brought the pure lineage of Kundalini Yoga from India to North America in 1969. Since then, this unique yogic form has flourished nationally and internationally to heal and uplift thousands of sincere practitioners.
