Kundalini Yoga
Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan utilises breath along with dynamic movement to invigorate the body, strengthen the immune, endocrine, and nervous systems. Mantra is woven with the breath to focus the mind and to bring the emotional body under control. It is called the Yoga of Awareness because through this practice we seek with our breath to become conscious of how we interact and relate in the world with others. We learn self healing and responsibility. Unless noted all levels are always welcome in a Kundalini Yoga class.
