Kundalini Yoga & Meditation
Your mind is your servant,
your body is your vehicle
and your soul is your residence.
Yogi Bhajan
Known for its transformative benefits, the practice of Kundalini Yoga
builds physical strength and stamina and enhances cognitive function,
emotional fitness, and spiritual connection. The word kundalini
literally means “the curl of the lock of hair of the beloved.” It is a
metaphor, a poetic way of describing the flow of energy and
consciousness which already exists within each one of us.
The practices enable you to merge with this universal consciousness.
Kundalini Yoga offers a holistic technology that can be used by people
of any belief and from all walks of life. This yoga practice balances
the glandular system, strengthens the nervous system and enables us to
harness the energy of the mind and the emotions, so we can be in control
of ourselves, rather than being controlled by our thoughts and feelings.
