"Just as all rivers end up in the ocean,
all forms of yoga end up by raising the Kundalini,
the creative potential of the human being."
Yogi Bhajan, Master of Kundalini Yoga
What is Kundalini Yoga?
Kundalini comes from the root "kundal" in Sanskrit, which means "the lock of the hair from the beloved." The uncoiling of this hair is the awakening of the Kundalini, the unlimited potential that already exists in every human.
Yoga is the science of the self, and Kundalini is the awakening of the self. Kundalini Yoga encompasses the eight limbs of Patanjali and all seven branches of yoga: Raja yoga, Hatha yoga, Karma yoga, Jana yoga, Mantra yoga, Tantric yoga and Bhakti yoga.
Kundalini
Yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan, Master of Kundalini Yoga, is the ancient science
of Yoga. It incorporates exercise, breath, meditation and sound current to
help relax, strengthen and heal your body, mind and spirit. Kundalini Yoga
is the
"Yoga of Awareness" for families and people who deal with the stress
and struggles of every day life. It gives you a clear mind, vitality and a
healthy life through the self-discovery of your infinite creative potential
or Kundalini energy.
Practicing
Kundalini Yoga is energizing and elevating. It concentrates the pranic energy
in the lower chakras (root, sex organs, and navel), raises it to the higher
chakras (heart, throat, third eye, crown center), then balances all the chakras.
