There are too many benefits to list them all, and they have been pretty well documented over the years, so we’ve just picked out a few to highlight.

IMPROVED FLEXIBILITY

GIVE IT A GO!

This may seem obvious but if you are not a practitioner then you won’t have had the opportunity to see how much it helps. Take me for example (female in her 40’s), I struggled to even touch my toes in the first session, let along bend my back. In fact, I even remember saying, as I stared round at all the people seemingly doing it with ease, “it’s clear I just don’t bend!”. If it hadn’t been for the fact that I’d signed up for 5 sessions, I probably would never have gone back. However, despite my apparent ineptitude, I started noticing a gradual loosening. This had the added benefit of reducing the pain in my bad back, which I thought I was stuck with. So, take it from a ‘non-believer’ and give it a go!

BOOSTS IMMUNITY

HELPs YOU FIGHT INFECTION

When you are doing your yoga poses you are stretching and contracting muscles, and moving your organs around. This movement increases lymphatic drainage which in turn helps to dispose of toxic waste products and help you fight infection.

MAKES YOU HAPPIER

YOGA CAN HELP IMPROVE DEPRESSION

Feeling a bit low? Try sitting in the Lotus position and rise up into a back bend. Whilst it isn’t going to wave a magic wand and suddenly resolve all your woes, various studies have shown that regular yoga can help improve depression. The practice has been shown to significantly increase serotonin levels in the body which helps with mood regulation.

RELAXES YOU

FOCUS ON YOUR PRESENT

Slowing your breathing as part of your yoga poses aids in getting you to focus on your present. This shifts the balance from our body’s natural ‘fight or flight’ reflex to the parasympathetic nervous system. What this means is that it lowers the heart rate, decreases blood pressure and increases blood flow to the intestines and organs.

Discover the Power of Kundalini Yoga

Introduction:

Kundalini Yoga is a profound and transformative practice that combines physical postures, breathwork, meditation, and mantra chanting to awaken the dormant energy within you, known as Kundalini. This ancient yogic tradition offers a holistic approach to health and wellbeing, providing a path to self-realisation and spiritual awakening.

What is Kundalini Yoga?

Kundalini Yoga is often referred to as the "Yoga of Awareness" because it focuses on expanding your consciousness and unlocking the reservoir of energy located at the base of your spine. The term "Kundalini" refers to the coiled serpent energy that lies dormant at the base of the spine. Through dedicated practice, this energy can be awakened and channeled upward through the chakras, leading to a profound transformation of mind, body, and spirit.

Key Elements of Kundalini Yoga:

Asanas (Postures): Kundalini Yoga incorporates a wide range of physical postures, often with repetitive movements, designed to stimulate specific energy centers in the body and strengthen the nervous system.

Pranayama (Breathwork): Conscious breathing techniques are a cornerstone of Kundalini Yoga. Various breath exercises are used to increase vitality, clear the mind, and balance the body's energy.

Meditation: Kundalini meditations are dynamic and may involve chanting mantras, focusing on specific points in the body, or using visualization techniques. These meditations are designed to enhance mental clarity and emotional stability.

Mantras: Chanting mantras (sacred sounds or phrases) is an integral part of Kundalini Yoga. Mantras have the power to change your consciousness, promote healing, and connect you to your higher self.

Mudras (Hand Gestures): Kundalini Yoga often incorporates hand gestures, or mudras, to direct energy flow and enhance the effects of meditation and postures.

Benefits of Kundalini Yoga:

Stress Reduction: Kundalini Yoga helps manage stress and anxiety by balancing the nervous system and calming the mind.

Increased Energy: Awakening Kundalini energy can boost vitality and enhance overall physical and mental wellbeing.

Emotional Healing: The practice can help release emotional blockages, improve emotional resilience, and promote a sense of inner peace.

Spiritual Growth: Many practitioners find that Kundalini Yoga accelerates their spiritual journey, deepening their connection to the divine and their own inner wisdom.

Improved Focus and Creativity: Regular practice can enhance concentration and creative thinking.
