The Yoga of Awareness

The word Yoga, literally translated from the ancient language of Sanskrit, means unite. This union can be thought of as a yoke, binding together the body, mind and spirit. Yoga is the union of ones individual consciousness with infinite consciousness.

The science of Kundalini Yoga and meditation was developed over 50 000 years ago by rishis in India and Tibet. By maintaining the techniques as a secret oral tradition for thousands of years, they were protected from abuse but consequently acquired an unnecessary image of mystery. Kundalini Yoga is simply an holistic philosophy that brings practical benefits of rejuvenation and healing. Brought to the West by Yogi Bhajan in 1969, Kundalini Yoga is a comprehensive system of exercises, breathing, meditation, chanting and positive mental projection.

Kundalini is often symbolised as a coiled serpent of potential energy and consciousness lying dormant at the base of the spine. Once awakened, through regular yogic practice, you develop a conscious and dynamic relationship between your personal life energy and the universal flow of Prana (Universal Energy). The overall result is the balancing of the seven chakras and alignment of the ten spiritual bodies. This awakens you to who you really are; a spiritual being having a human experience.
