No
matter what we achieve, our successes are hollow unless
we fulfill the soul's yearning to bring higher consciousness
into our daily lives. Kundalini Yoga, as taught by Yogi
Bhajan, is much more than a system of physical exercise;
it's
a dynamic, powerful tool for expanding awareness.
An integrated and authentic system of exercise, breath
control, and meditation that has been practiced in India
for millennia, it's safe, comprehensive, and simple.
It promotes physical health, stimulates the mind's potential,
and touches one's innermost being.
This
is a yoga for householders
For
people who have to cope with the
daily
challenges and stresses of holding jobs, raising families,
and
managing careers.
You don't have to leave your home,
become an ascetic, or sit in a cave. Even spending three
minutes a day meditating or stretching into a Kundalini
Yoga posture at your desk provides benefit. Of all the
technology and wisdom that Yogi Bhajan could have taught
from his vast storehouse of experience and mastery,
he chose Kundalini Yoga and meditation because it is
so effective, comprehensive, and "do-able."
Kundalini yoga is based on kriyas, or specially formulated
sets of exercises. This allows you to target specific
benefits and work on exactly those aspects of yourself
that need work at the current time. Any amount of time
spent practicing - whether three minutes or an hour
a day - produces significant benefits, and in turn,
motivate individuals to dedicate more time to its practice.
Practicing Kundalini Yoga keeps the body in shape and
trains the mind to be strong and flexible in the face
of stress and change. It increases oxygen capacity,
boosts blood flow, balances the glandular system, strengthens
the nervous system, and reduces stress-induced toxins
such as adrenaline and cortol. The effect is a heightened
self-awareness and vitality that allows you to harness
mental and emotional energy. Individuals feel more in
control of themselves, with enhanced peace of mind,
concentration, and a deep inner calm and self-confidence.
No matter what someone's age or physical capacity is,
Kundalini yoga and meditation can have immediate benefits.
Student comments:
"Thank you for inviting me to the kundalini yoga class.
I found it
challenging in places, but thanks to your encouragement
I gave it my
best and was surprised to find I CAN do it (well, most
of it).
Afterwards I felt really good in myself and so energised,
I didn't feel
to go to bed until 2 pm." Regina
"Dear Sandra, I want to thank you for a lovely evening last night I had a great time at the yoga session, the energy in the room was amazing which is something I have never experienced, so thank you for my first real Kundalini Yoga experience! Also, the folder you provided is very informative and made very interesting reading." Tanya

enjoyed it and fell
totally energised" Mala

next day Yara writes..
"After finishing the kundalini yoga course I left
with a new found
positive energy and I felt that my sense of intuition
and perception was
greatly enhanced. It was as if I had focused on the
connection with my
spirit, helping me reconnect with myself and the world.
My family and
friends noticed a vibrant diffence in me."
"Medicinal for mind, spirit and body. Really strong
high vibrational
space (crystals and room) added to blissful energy that
was created.
Hard work initially, however, foundthe mantras and focus
on breath
produced great endurance and feelings of accomplishment"
Martha
"When I left the class I felt like a blanket of
pure stillness had been
thrown over me. The class was very energetic, yet I
was not tired. I
felt like the chanting (or maybe it was the physical
movement....?) had
filled my whole UCL with a really profoud peace. I could
feel a
different sort of energy around me. The morning after
the yoga I woke up
feeling blissfully happy and tranquil. The chanting
carried an energy of
its own and stayed with me well into the next day. This
yoga is unlike
any other I have done. It seems to work at so many levels."
Harinder
"Each class is different and it just gets better
and better. I am
looking forward to a regular once a week class. Love
the chanting" Regina
"My first Kundalini yoga class with Sandra - and
what a joy it was! All
the instructions were very clear. it wasn't sure how
I was going to feel
and keep up but I am stronger than I think I am. Thank
you." Harinder
"I had a very strong emotional release of fear,
anxiety after my first
kundalini session. I felt I was visiting an issue from
my past, I felt
teary and emotional. Then suddenly I just became calm,
less anxious. I
find that I am more objective, calm and balanced. I
was suddenly not
fearful anymore." Amrita
Comments after a 10-week beginners course:
Benefits/students were as to describe their experience to others, how would they phrase it:
”Clear connection to my breath. Exercises I can do at home to support myself. Feeling that I have shifted and worked hard in a fun way.” Joanne
“Kundalini course is about meditation combined with wellbeing exercises and finding yourself and connecting to your inner self and spirituality.” Barbara
“I thought it was an excellent course – the handouts were great and well prepared. I found my energy levels high and I feel more blessed and focused in all aspects of life. Love it!” Ritu
“I really enjoyed the course. The small size felt very safe. I feel that I have benefited from doing the course as it has equipped me with some basic knowledge of Kundalini Yoga which I can continue to do at home.” Mala
I would strongly advise anyone who has never dabbled in any forms of Yoga Not to dive into this course without some prior knowledge of this form of Yoga. The reason being it can become overwhelming and this may influence the disciple to lose interest prematurely. Having said this, I cannot, but highly recommend and praise this yoga enough. It is a must for serious Yoga seekers. Sailesh
(Sailesh has not had problems with this type of yoga and has also mentioned that he fond it very useful and is in the process of setting up a personalised program for sets of kiryas according to a timetable and he overall nearly enjoyed the whole course, especially the meditation at the end, but the kiryas that had raised arms he found extremely painful).
"Yes, they course met my expectations. I enjoyed most to hear the benefits linked to a particular exercise and that exercises were given separately in the hand out to work on a specific chakra as well as the focus on a specific chakra in each session . I also enjoyed the rests between exercises, restful exercises and meditation mixed in with the more energetic exercises. The class felt long, I wasn’t sure if I would last out to the end sometimes. It was a comprehensive course giving an insight into Kundalini yoga. The results of the exercises were refreshing and beneficial." Joel
5-week course:
“Yoga is energy. Weird feelings and sensations, interesting to explore. Quite different from many other type of yoga”. Guiseppina
