What is Kundalini Yoga?

Kundalini Yoga focuses on the movement and transformation of energy. Kundalini yoga classes incorporate kriyas, which are each a specific sequence of yogic techniques and meditations to create a specific result in consciousness. This could be something very concrete (like better digestion) or something more etheric (like an open heart). Each kriya (which means “action” in Sanskrit) and comes with precise instructions and usually includes most of the following techniques:

  • Asana: body postures

  • Mudras: hand positions

  • Pranayama: breathwork

  • Mantras: intentional, repeated sounds

  • Bandhas: constriction of a particular area of the body

  • Drishti: directing the gaze of the eyes

  • Shavasana: relaxation at the end of practice

My style of teaching:

I intend to allow the yoga practiced on the mat to be carried off the mat as well and allow subtle changes to occur in our daily lives. I am on a lifelong journey of seeking knowledge and awareness to connect with my Higher Self and strive to guide my students to do the same- to form a positive relationship with Self as the key to living life with grace and joy. 

I practiced and trained in various forms of yoga and meditation until I found Kundalini Yoga which impacted my spiritual journey profoundly. Through the various Sikh teachings like Japji Sahib and Shabad Guru incorporated with Kundalini Yoga offered deep transformations in my life, which I am now passionate about sharing with others. I am a dedicated student of Kundalini Yoga and hope to deepen my journey through continued training and practice. 

My classes are a safe space open to everyone, a space to shed unwanted layers of themselves and leave behind what no longer serves the soul. My classes offer a wholesome experience to yogis incorporating rhythmic postures with breath work, mantra, and meditation.
