What Is Kundalini Yoga?

If you are looking for a different kind of yoga class, Kundalini Yoga might be the answer. It combines physical and spiritual practices, and a typical class includes yoga postures (asanas) but also breathing exercises, mantra chanting and meditation. The practice was originally brought to the US by Yoga Bhajan in the late 1960s and has now spread around the world.
Kundalini Yoga Boston classes are different from a typical class in an average yoga studio. The purpose of the various mantra, meditation and breathing practices is to awaken the kundalini energy at the base of the spine. The awakening of the energy will lead to higher states of consciousness, as well as health and happiness for the practitioner. As the energy awakens it moves through the energy centers or chakras and leads to more spiritual awareness and a more peaceful, happier life.
