Shatkarma (Yogic Cleansing Process)
Yogic cleansing helps the practitioner in detoxifying the body and balance the mind. This prepares one for further practice of Asana, Kriyas and Pranayama.
Mudra
Mudras are some symbolic gestures of hand and body. Which are used to control or channelize the energy in the body in yogic manner.
Bandha (Locks)
Bandha is an energy lock which is applied in order to direct and balance the flow of prana (life force energy).
Pranayama
Pranayama means increase of the ‘Prana’ the life force. This is also science for controlling our breath or prana(Vital Force). With the help of pranayama we bring the balance between Ida Nadi (Moon Energy) and Pingala Nadi (Sun Energy). This balance helps in the activation of Susumna nadi to Kundalini energy.
Philosophy of Kundalini Yoga
Here we discuss the theoretical ideas of yoga. This class brings the clear understanding of what we are doing and why we are doing that. Here we test the traditional knowledge on the basis of logic and rationale. Yoga practice based on understanding is far better than the one based on belief. Further we explore various other elements of yoga and not just Chakra and Kundalini.
