Let’s face it, folks - we lead busy lives. There’s always somewhere to be and something to do, and when you get home from that long day the last thing you want to do is go out again to exercise – right? Right, but it’s all the more reason to try the healing practice of Kundalini Yoga and experience the transformational benefits for yourself.
Kundalini yoga is one of the most sacred practices we know of, and for good reason. We believe it’s something everyone should try at least once, whether you’re brand new or have a mature practice. In this article, we are going to be exploring the many benefits and how this dynamic form of physical and mental yoga could transform your life.
What Is ‘Kundalini’
Kundalini is a Sanskrit word meaning coiled-up energy. The idea is that energy lies coiled at the base of the spine. With Kundalini yoga, you aim to wake up this sleeping energy and raise it through the seven chakras to activate your higher self. You are able to reconnect with your innermost spirit and transcendence. In addition to waking up your higher self, Kundalini can help you naturally address physical pain and fatigue. We offer 90-minute Kundalini Yoga & Sound Healing Classes each week. Classes include pranayama (breathwork), a kriya (a specific set of physical actions), and close with a 30 min deep relaxation of sound healing to assist in the integration of its benefits into your daily life.
How Our Yoga Lincoln CA Classes Work
The first thing you need to know about kundalini yoga is that it's done through meditation. The second thing is that it's an energizing form of yoga, so you might feel better than ever afterward. A typical kundalini class starts with chanting and breathing exercises, followed by a series of yoga postures or asanas. Our classes focus on strength training, flexibility, or alignment exercises for the spine and pelvis. While classes are not defined as difficult, some kriyas can be challenging - we always encourage you to do your best. This is completely normal and will get easier as you continue your practice. All classes leave you feeling more rested both physically and mentally than ever before, we promise!
The Benefits of Kundalini Yoga
The goal of Kundalini yoga is to awaken these energy centers and align them with one another so that the person who practices can achieve a heightened state of consciousness. In addition to making you feel refreshed, energized, and at peace, Kundalini Yoga has many other benefits:
-It can calm the nervous system to help you to relieve stress and anxiety

-It can improve flexibility and strength
-It can improve your mental health by reducing depression and boosting self-esteem -It can reduce chronic pain by releasing tension
-It promotes blood flow and collagen production supporting graceful - aging effects on the skin
What we see in classes is that each student responds differently, and it truly is a personal experience. Some students notice an immediate difference while others experience changes over time; but they always end up feeling lighter afterwards. That's why we are passionate about Kundalini and offer this ancient and sacred practice in studio.
