Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini Yoga is uncoiling yourself to find your potential and your vitality and to reach for your virtues. There is nothing from outside. Try to understand that. All is in you. You are the storehouse of your totality." --Yogi Bhajan Kundalini Yoga, the Yoga of Awareness, was brought to the West by Yogi Bhajan in 1968. Yogi Bhajan taught that, through the practice of Kundalini Yoga and meditation, your glandular and nervous systems are stimulated, and your capacity for creative potential is heightened. You gain inner vitality to compensate for the adverse effects of stress so you can excel in life.

Kundalini yoga classes are a dynamic blend of postures, pranayam, mantra, music and meditation, which teach you the art of relaxation, self-healing and elevation. Balancing body and mind enables you to experience the clarity and beauty of your soul.

Yoga Classes at the Ashram

Kundalini Yoga is taught daily at the Ashram as part of the morning Sadhana program. This is not a formal class, and therefore there is no charge to attend.

Additional yoga and meditation activities can be found on the Spiritual Life page, or by contacting the Ashram Secretary for further information.
