By closing your eyes and focusing on your Third Eye Chakra, located in the middle of your forehead, between your eyes, you open up your intuition and your connection to spirit. By saying to yourself “Sat” upon inhale, and “Nam” upon exhale, you work even deeper as you call upon the divine energies of love. In Kundalini, we meditate between exercises to integrate the work we’ve done in the physical to the spiritual. When you breathe, breathe into your belly, create space for the breath to fill. You won’t be easily agitated and feel much more in balance. When you practice Kundalini yoga, you have nerves of steel. Breathing is a tonic for the nervous system. Your muscles are controlled by your nerves and your nerves are controlled by your glands and your glands are controlled by your breath. By simply breathing you can raise your heart rate, stimulate your metabolism, detoxify, curb cravings and relax the body. Even those with a handicap or injury can practice the pranayamas while sitting. Kundalini yoga can be practiced by anyone. Even spending three minutes a day meditating or stretching into a Kundalini Yoga posture at your desk provides benefit. You don’t have to leave your home or sit in a cave. This is a yoga for households-for people who have to cope with the daily challenges and stresses of holding jobs, raising families, and managing careers. It promotes physical health, stimulates the mind’s potential, and opens your innermost being to the divine.

It is excellent for those who work with energy or have migraines, sinus infections or autoimmune diseases. It boosts the endocrine, immune, nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems.

Kundalini yoga combines yoga asanas (postures) with pranayamas (breathing techniques), resulting in a quick and vigorous workout. An integrated system of exercise, breath control, and meditation that has been practiced in India for millennia. Kundalini Yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan, is much more than a system of physical exercise it is a dynamic, powerful tool for expanding awareness.
