Kundalini Yoga: 6-week Series | November 2-December 7, 2021

The ancient Kundalini tradition dates back at least 6000 years and is considered the yoga for “householders” or those having to tend to the challenging demands of daily life. It's yoga for real life.

Because of the brilliantly woven science and artfulness of the practice, it is very powerful and highly efficient. This means it is an excellent tool for getting to know yourself and becoming more aware of what you need then meeting that need in an easy and quick way.

Our Tuesday evening practices are accessible for everyone and no yoga experience is necessary.  Modifications may be made for your individual needs. The practice includes sets of asanas/movements, breathwork, chanting, mudras and meditation.

Kundalini yoga is the Yoga of Awareness as it helps to bring us more fully into the present moment with tools to better tend to and be in harmony with our inner and outer landscape.

You may experience an array of emotions including joy, frustration, bliss, anger, confusion, clarity, and so on. This is normal and simply a matter of your brain and body responding to the flow and shifts in your energy. The more you practice, the stronger, more balanced, grounded, and peaceful you will become. Kundalini is also highly effective for strengthening our core muscles, creating mental clarity and greater focus.

Each practice will build on the week before. Each week you will add a bit of knowlege of the practice in order to develop an understanding of the practice of Kundalini.  This will allow you the chance to develop and maintian a practice of your own at home. 

All you need to remember to simply do your best.

Lauren Higdon will guide our practice at Shala at the Apiary.
