Program
The real meaning of the Kundalini is "a deeper coiled place". Once awakened, a total inner transformation takes place in your life. In the human body, a very powerful energy source resides in the base of the spine (Mooladhara Chakra) called the Kundalini. When this power source is aroused and travels through your chakras and ascends to the brain, you will experience self-realization, and a new consciousness begins to spread light. All yoga practice is based on that, but Kundalini yoga practice is the most powerful method for awakening Kundalini.
This course is suitable for beginner and intermediate-level Kundalini yoga seekers. Learn valuable knowledge from the lineage of the Himalayan yogis who have studied Kundalini yoga, meditation, and spiritual techniques from Himalayan Gurus and in yoga universities (Gurukulam) who are very open to sharing their knowledge and experience with the students.
How do you experience Kundalini awakening?
Through the powerful practice of Kundalini Yoga, Kundalini energy awakens, activating the higher centers of the brain and consciousness. As a result, practitioners can function on both the earthly and superconscious planes. While experiences vary from person to person, a common experience is the release of energy, often described as a powerful force rising through the spinal cord and illuminating one's inner awareness.
