I enjoy guiding myself intuitively through my yoga practice and morning routine. Yet I have a curiosity and intrigue for the more mentally and physically challenging and disciplined practises, such as Kundalini yoga and the Kundalini Yoga poses and Kriyas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/\" style=\"background-color:#f52d63\">Start my FREE 14-day Trial Today<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I remember being a newly qualified yoga teacher and feeling invincible. I went to a Kundalini yoga class with my mum and her 75 year old guru (Guru Ram). The class was in a beautiful shed at the back of the garden and I remember starting with (what felt like a never ending) breath of fire pranayama. I had no idea what I had signed up for! Fast forward and we are doing 7 minutes of frog (intense yogi squats), 8 minutes of holding plank, and many repetitions of camel pose. I made it through 30 seconds each round and I was left in awe at the strength of the women around me. I was bewildered as to how I could ever find the mental focus and physical capacity to complete a whole Kundalini Kriya!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing was for sure. I walked out the class feeling powered up, and knowing I wanted to be like Guru Ram at 75.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-css-opacity has-white-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-kundalini-yoga\">What is Kundalini Yoga?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kundalini Yoga is an ancient practice that helps you to channel energy and direct it towards transforming your life. The practice is powerful because it combines physical asana with the spiritual elements of yoga. A typical class incorporates all five pillars of Kundalini Yoga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-five-pillars-of-kundalini-yoga\">The five pillars of Kundalini yoga<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Pranayama (breath work) <\/li><li><span style=\"color: initial; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif;\">Asana (Kundalini yoga poses and kriyas)<\/span><\/li><li>Mantra (Sat Nam)<\/li><li>Mudra (hand gestures)<\/li><li>Meditation<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When these five pillars are worked together we activate and heal the nervous and lymphatic systems. The fusion of our physical and spiritual experience can often lead to profound shifts in our energy or life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kundalini means \u2018awareness\u2019,  making Kundalini yoga the \u2018yoga of awareness\u2019. Kundalini energy is our vital life force energy. Often depicted as a coiled up snake at the root of our spine. The intention of Kundalini Yoga is to activate the Kundalini snake energy and draw it upwards. When we awaken this energy, we wake up our creative energy,  our awareness and unite our body, mind and spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BLOG-HEADER-IMAGE-JOANNA-5-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BLOG-HEADER-IMAGE-JOANNA-5-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BLOG-HEADER-IMAGE-JOANNA-5-2.png 960w, https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BLOG-HEADER-IMAGE-JOANNA-5-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BLOG-HEADER-IMAGE-JOANNA-5-2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BLOG-HEADER-IMAGE-JOANNA-5-2-624x351.png 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50 has-custom-font-size is-style-fill has-medium-font-size\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/yoga-classes\/kundalini\" style=\"background-color:#f70e65\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Try a Kundalini class on MFML!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-css-opacity has-white-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-a-kriya\">What is a Kriya?&nbsp;<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Kriya is a set of Kundalini Yoga poses that have a specific focus and intention. They are designed to facilitate the movement of energy towards an outcome.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The movements, mantras, and breathwork that you practice in a kundalini class will be dependent on what Kriya you are focusing on. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/yoga-class-1620-kundalini-kriya-for-overwhelm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kundalini Kriya for Overwhelm<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/yoga-class-1667-kundalini-yoga-for-positivity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kundalini Yoga for positivity<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/yoga-class-1359-kundalini-yoga-to-elevate-the-spirit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kundalini Yoga to Elevate the Spirit<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you practice Kundalini Yoga poses, you can expect to hold them for longer than you would normally in a yoga class. You hold the poses longer than you believe you can. The reason being, is to move beyond your comfort zone and to reach the point of challenge and resistance. Here is where the magic happens, and we consciously choose to push through, see our capability, rewrite our story, and realise our potential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where we build strength and resilience, physically and mentally.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-css-opacity has-white-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-ways-kundalini-yoga-transforms-your-life-and-your-yoga-practice\"><strong>5 ways Kundalini Yoga transforms your life and your yoga practice:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Increases Confidence\/empowering<\/strong> &#8211; Kundalini Kriyas are made up of simple movements that are repeated many times. The kriyas are also generally quite short. The length and simplicity makes many kriyas accessible for everyone to do. This accessibility can build a sense of confidence that the practices are manageable for you.\u00a0The energising and uplifting practices help us start the day feeling confident and empowered.<\/li><li><strong>Builds your Strength and Resilience<\/strong> &#8211; In kundalini yoga you do an exercise longer than you normally would! When you think you can\u2019t do anymore you move beyond your comfort zone and you can! This develops endurance and stamina and helps us become stronger and more resilient in our yoga practice and in other areas of our life.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Improves the ability to focus<\/strong> &#8211; In general, us humans have developed a short attention span. We have fast fire information coming at us all the time and it is more challenging to focus.\u00a0 Kundalini trains the brain, with music, mantra, and breath, to focus more and stay present for longer.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Enables deeper relaxation and rest\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; The breath work expands our lung capacity, whilst the mantra and sounds quiet the mind. This helps us access deeper relaxation, and we feel rejuvenated after class.  We have more energy to create and take steps forward with projects and ideas.\u00a0When we enter this place of deep rest we allow the voice of our intuition to speak louder and to guide us.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Variety is the Spice of Life<\/strong> &#8211; Every kriya is different, and has a different focus. This means your mind and body don\u2019t get stuck in a routine. There is always something new and unexpected to practice!\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50 has-custom-font-size is-style-fill has-medium-font-size\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/yoga-classes\/kundalini\" style=\"background-color:#f70e65\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Try a Kundalini Class on MFML!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-css-opacity has-white-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"should-i-only-practice-kundalini-yoga\">Should I ONLY practice Kundalini Yoga?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not at all!

I loved how she incorporated elements of Kundalini into her warm up sequences. It is great to remember that it is not about choosing between different styles of yoga for your daily practice. Instead it is about finding ways to bring the magic of Kundalini into any practice and weave it through life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vidya explained to me that she started Kundalini when she had a broken wrist and couldn\u2019t practice her normal Vinyasa yoga. Now she continues to enjoy infusing Kundalini yoga into her self-practice and her Vinyasa classes. Vidya has created a self-empowerment practice with movements inspired by Kundalini yoga (Envision Yoga).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vidya shared what she loves so much about kundalini yoga and how it has been transformation to her life and practice:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cI love all the breath of fire and strong rhythmic breath and find this breathing very energising and empowering. I also fell in love with the simple but repetitive movements.<\/p><p>In Kundalini you are encouraged to keep going when your mind wants to give up. there is an element of mind over matter. In order to keep going with a movement, long after you feel tired and feel resistance arising, you have to master your own mind.
