Kundalini Yoga & the Benefits

Yoga

Kundalini Yoga is a transformational practice proven to benefit one’s mind, body and spirit.

 

Yoga is a Sanskrit word that means “union” or “to yoke” the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels of one’s being. It is one of the six orthodox systems of Indian Philosophy and is a 5000 year-old discipline.

 

Yoga is not a religion. It is practiced by all faiths and varies by school or type of yoga which all focus on calming the mind, consciousness, and well-being; the core of the yoga philosophy.

 

More than simply a physical discipline, yoga promotes self-awareness and guides us in understanding the relationship between our mind, body, spirit as well as our connection with all human beings and life on earth.
