KUNDALINI YOGA
Kundalini Yoga is the original and most powerful of the twenty-two schools of yoga, all of
which are beneficial. The Yoga Sutras (writings) say that what you can achieve in 12 years of
Hatha Yoga, plus 6 years of Raj Yoga, plus 3 years of Mantra Yoga, plus 1 year of Laya Yoga
can be accomplished in a single year of perfectly practiced Kundalini Yoga.
Kundalini Yoga is designed for the active person with responsibilities in school, work, family
and the world. It was maintained as a secret oral tradition for thousands of years which
protected the techniques from abuse, but also created an unnecessary image of mystery.
Kundalini Yoga can be practiced by anyone if it is done gradually and according to the
instructions.
As our society becomes increasingly technological, our world becomes more intimately
connected and influenced by its numerous cultures. The pace of change is on the rise and the
stress on our body’s nervous system is increasing. The science of Kundalini Yoga allows us to
tap into a technology that helps us cope with this escalating change. The inner science of the
mind is the tool that will enable us to cope with the pressure of these changes. It is the mind that
interprets our outer and inner worlds and it is the mind that we must train to guide us through
the flow of change.
As a beginning student you should go at a pace that suits your flexibility and endurance. As you
feel more comfortable with the exercises taught in class, begin to practice at home. If you can
practice at the same time each day, you will find that you will improve rapidly. Try to take one to
three yoga classes a week and one workshop a month to establish a firm foundation for an
effective program that fits your needs, goals, capacity and lifestyle. Wear loose exercise clothes
to class, preferably of cotton or other natural fiber and if you wish, bring an exercise mat.
