Kundalini Yoga

The most spiritual kind of yoga is Kundalini yoga. It necessitates heavenly commitment and persistence in the discipline. Physical postures, prana (breathing techniques), chanting, meditation, and shatkriyas and shatkarmas (methods of cleaning and balancing the Chakra System) are all part of Kundalini Yoga. The life force is a coiled-up serpent that lies dormant in the seven chakras of the body, and Kundalini is the untapped energy "curled" at the base of the spine that may be brought up through the body by awakening each of the seven chakras.

To put it another way, it releases the energy within you that will gradually raise your spine. By bringing the mind, body, and soul into total balance, Kundalini Yogis believe that balancing the chakras and unleashing the energy is the way to more fulfillment and happiness in your life. Most Kundalini Yoga retreats are 7-8 day programs that focus on healing the 7 chakras, starting with the root chakra (Muladhar), then unwinding and rising up to your seventh, highest chakra, The Crown, while concentrating on the auras of each chakra energy (Sahasrara). Every day, a new chakra is explored in order to bring individuals closer to their inner selves.
