This class is great for all levels and will provide you with practices to improve physical and mental health, manage stress, reduce anxiety, and cultivate a relationship with your own consciousness using a fusion of techniques from the tantric teachings & Hatha Yoga.
We practise kriya-s that are specific set of movements that 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. In the Eastern tradition, kriya-s are used to help bring the body, mind and emotions into balance to enable healing. Each kriya and meditation has its own individual effect. Kriya means complete action. And actions as we know bring us result! Meditation can also be part of the kriya, or done separately.
Each Kundalini class begins with a short chant to tune in to our higher self and inner teacher, and to connect with the golden chain, all the spiritual masters, gurus who perfected this sacred science. By establishing a link with the teachings and our own higher consciousness, we are protected, as well as guided in our practice. After we tune in we start with a warm-up to stretch the spine and improve flexibility. We then start with what is called a kriya (above), a prescribed sequence of poses and pranayama, breathing exercises that focus on a specific area of the body. Meditation is either part of the kriya or done separately.
Yoga nidra has amazing healing qualities. It has its roots in meditation. The whole experience feels like a guided meditation session, whilst resting. We're moving through the sleep cycle (brain wave patterns) of waking, dreaming and sleeping. We go through the different layers of our being, so at the deepest state of relaxation we can connect with our higher self, something deeper within.
All levels of experience and abilities very welcome.
