Kundalini Yoga
- CLASS IS SOLD OUT!
FT-11 Classes begin: Mar 4 (End date: May 6) 12 Hours (8 Sessions)
Tue: 7:15-8:45
Did you know that changing the way you breathe can give you more energy,
change your mood, help you to sleep better or improve your concentration? Did
you know that meditation can change the chemistry in the brain to promote
healing and can help you realize your full potential? Recent studies have shown
that the physiology of those who meditate on a regular basis can be as much as
ten to fifteen years younger than those who do not. Regular practice of
Kundalini Yoga offers many possibilities for a happier, healthier life. These
are just a few:
Aids in Weight Loss (increased metabolism) Improved concentration
Increased flexibility Stress relief Headache reduction Improved physical
health Control over moods Strengthened immune system Overcoming depression
Kundalini is the oldest form of yoga (dating back over 5,000 years) and
incorporates all facets of yoga including exercises called kriyas, breath work (pranayama)
and meditation (silent and with mantra). Practicing Kundalini yoga balances the
glandular system, strengthens the nervous system and enables the practitioner to
harness the energy of the mind and the emotions. Kundalini yoga releases energy
blocks along the spine which result in a sense of well being, clear thinking and
overall physical health. Kundalini classes are appropriate for beginners as well
as experienced practitioners. Alternative moves are offered whenever possible
for students who may find some of the exercises challenging. Students will
benefit regardless of ability to do some of the physical components of exercises
by participating with breath, intention, and meditation. Please wear loose,
layered clothing and bring a mat, pillow and towel or blanket to throw over
yourself during deep relaxation. It is advisable to eat lightly or not at all
before the class. There will be no class on 4/22 & 4/29.
