Kundalini Yoga is one of the original and most powerful of the 22 schools of yoga. It is a practice that activates and balances our energy. The Sanskrit word “kundalini” refers to a primal energy (shakti) that is coiled at the base of the spine, at our root chakra. This practice precisely and consciously combines breath, mudra, eye-focus, mantra, body locks, and postures to balance the glandular system, strengthen the nervous system, expand lung capacity, and purify the blood. It brings balance to the body, mind, and soul.
