Kundalini

Kundalini, the union of Shiva and Shakti. You awaken your inner sleeping energy. As Kundalini (Shakti) starts to rise, your potential becomes limitless, abundance comes into your lives. Negativity, anxiety, stress, and fear begin to dissipate, allowing you to live your lives, rather than survive. Then you become your true selves. The ancient seers and sages of India perceived the spine as the tree of life, and safely practiced and taught the rise of the inner energy.

Kundalini has evolved over the years as it has been taken to the west, however, the knowledge and practice that you will leave with is based on the ancient, traditional techniques of the forefathers and lineage. The trained teachers will guide you through a logical and varied curriculum that includes topics such as Kundalini philosophy, Kundalini asana, Kundalini anatomy. They will take time to explain each segment so that you leave the ashram with a deep understanding of the subject matter.

Once the Shakti energy starts to rise to join her beloved Shiva, you will begin to notice mental, physical, and spiritual changes. A sense of stillness/calmness emerges from within.

The dimensions of Kundalini yoga and tantra will be revealed to you in great detail. All tissues of the body begin to heal and detoxify, which will lead to the release of supreme Kundalini energy, resulting in peace and bliss. The curriculum will also cover the major ways in which this energy can unfold and manifest itself.
