Kundalini yoga is the yoga of awareness, known as a Raja yoga. There are so many preconceived notions about what Kundalini yoga is and judgments about it. This class serves to awaken the energy centers in the body in gentle ways, blending strengthening and energizing breath and physical movements with meditative and contemplative “Kriyas” in a way that enliven the body, balance the mind and the nervous system and bring us into wholeness. We move from a sensation of embodiment, to go within, to move at your own pace and cultivate the awareness of listening to what you need in each moment, to act from that innate inner wisdom. We are seeped in the teachings of Yogi Bhajan, but from a modern perspective adhering to the needs of each student in the room. Come start your week with a practice that makes you feel awake, alive and completely full!
KUNDALINI EMBODIED YOGA
Vinyoga inspired practice in which asana is performed as a gateway to increase mindfulness of breath. Intentional focus on asana function over form allows the practitioner to feel from the inside how the body is responding thus increasing movement potential. Adaptations of classical postures are performed with self awareness, interiorizing one's attention and breaking the cycle of mechanical and repetitive actions. This will enhance the quality of one's life. With patience, one will gracefully cultivate a feeling of lightness in their body and improve their ability to withstand change. Come learn to focus the mind, transcend dullness and agitation in readiness to sit for pranayama practice and deepen into a space of mediative stillness. These healing therapeutic techniques are designed to encourage and transform YOUR personal practice.
MOVING WITH BREATH
Medical Qi gong is an ancient form of Chinese energetic medicine, and is one of the four main branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), along with acupuncture, herbal medicine, and medical massage. It is a complete system of health care that recognizes the root causes of symptoms or disease, and treats the client as a whole. Practiced as an excellent adjunct to Western medicine, Chinese medicine may successfully treat people with conditions which Western medicine finds resistant or ambiguous.
Disruptions in the electromagnetic energy of the body occur throughout our lifetime as a result of poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, injuries, surgery, suppression of emotions, and aging.
The goal of qi gong is to correct these bio-energetic imbalances and blockages. This enables the body to strengthen and regulate the internal organs, the nervous system and the immune system, relieve pain, regulate hormones, and strengthen and release deep-seated emotions and stress.
