What
is Kundalini Yoga?
Kundalini Yoga, the Yoga of Awareness, consists of simple yogic
techniques that can be enjoyed by everyone, no matter what your
age or physical ability. It is a complete science that includes
breath (pranayam), yoga postures (asanas), sound, chanting (mantra)
and meditation. It is designed to provide you with the experience
of your highest consciousness through the raising of your Kundalini.
The word
"kundalini" literally means "the curl of the
lock of hair of the beloved." It is a metaphor, a poetic
way of describing the flow of energy and consciousness that
already exists within each one of us. These practices enable
you to merge with, or "yoke" with, the universal Self.
This merging of individual consciousness with Universal consciousness
creates a "divine union" called "yoga."
