This class is appropriate for all levels

Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan is a powerful technology for personal transformation. Profound effects and benefits can be experienced in just a single practice. This practice is accessible to all body types, as any of the postures can be substituted with visualization and breath coordination.

Each Kundalini Yoga class will consist of several components:
-Pranayama (Breathwork)
-Kriya (a series of physical movements designed to bring about a desired effect, of which there are many)
-Deep relaxation
-Meditation

There are a myriad of Kundalini Yoga meditations which are generally more involved than simply sitting still and observing your thoughts. These meditations can involve movement, mudra (hand position), mantra, and chanting. We will typically deeply relax for 7 minutes, followed by an 11 minute meditation.

Tea will be served after class and everyone will have an opportunity to connect with one another and to share from their experience.
