“The awakening transforms everyday life into bliss. The world remains the same but one’s changed attitude, feelings and awareness transform everything into a fulfilling, joyful experience.” - Swami Satyananda Saraswati

Discover the power of Kundalini Yoga through our comprehensive workshop series where each workshop invites you on a deep and transformative journey to open and harmonize one of your seven key energy centers known as chakras which govern various physiological, physical, and energetic functions.

Through the practice of Kundalini Yoga, you will ignite your inner energy, enhance mental clarity, and boost physical vitality. This practice elevates your consciousness and fosters a deeper connection with your true self.

What is Kundalini Yoga?

Kundalini Yoga is an ancient practice rooted in tantric tradition that is designed to awaken Kundalini – a dynamic spiritual power within - to produce profound spiritual transformation. While other Yogas lead to higher states of awareness and open chakras as a result, Kundalini Yoga focuses on opening the chakras first to induce the higher states of awareness associated with kundalini awakening.

This practice was cloaked in secrecy for centuries and reserved exclusively for royalty and the spiritual elite before being brought to the west in the late 1960s. This is traditional Kundalini Yoga and should not be confused with that associated with yogi Bhajan. (See "Style" section below for more details.)

Structure of the workshops

Each workshop begins with the theoretical understanding of a specific chakra and how it governs our well-being and state of awareness. This is followed by 90 minutes of Kundalini Yoga practice to open and harmonize that specific chakra using a blend of pranayamas, asanas, mudras, bandhas, and the powerful vibration of chanting. The cumulative effect is to facilitate the awakening of kundalini and the experience of higher states of awareness.
