Perfect for beginners as well as experienced practitioners, Kundalini Yoga (as taught by Yogi Bhajan) is a deeply transformational and powerful practice. It is a wonderful compliment to a Vinyasa Flow, Ashtanga, Iyengar or any Hatha-based yoga practice. Consisting of postures (asanas), breathwork (pranayama), body locks (bhandas), sound vibrations (mantras), hand postures (mudras), eye focuses (drishtis), and meditation, Kundalini Yoga opens pathways to change and healing, releasing and dissolving tension and limitations along the way, on every level - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

A gentle yet challenging class that focuses on releasing and apana -the eliminating energy or force in the body. This class introduces theBreath of Fire - a repeated rapid breathing technique done through thenose or mouth that deeply detoxifies and energizes. We invigorate andcleanse the nerves through a powerful "wake-up" set leading into a twist-focused set that tones and strengthens the colon, and digestive and elimination organs. Oh, there's a little shaking and dancing near the end of class, too! Release what isn't serving you ;)

Today's moderately strong class for all levels of practice focuses on strengthening the core, and balancing the navel or third chakra - the energy center of strength and personal power. The navel center is also where all the nerves gather, so it's very important to set the navel so that energy is flowing freely and distributed thoroughly through all 72,000 nerves.

Today's soothing class for all levels of practice focuses on strengthening and balancing the 6th chakra - our intuitive center at the area between the eyebrows, or the third eye point. In addition, today's class works and stimulates the nerves in the shoulders, which supports in balancing the left and right hemispheres of the brain. It's a transcendent and soothing experience.

Today's class centers around the aura, our 8th energy center or chakra. What dims you? What's in the way of you shining brightly? Play with poses such as push ups in downdog and a back and forth cobra/downdog slide as we release anything in our energy field that keeps us stuck. End with an uplifting Wahe Guru Wahe Jio mantra meditation connecting your strength to your radiance. Sat Nam. Namaste.
