‘Kirtan Kriya will carry us through the Aquarian Age, even if all other teachings are lost.’
Yogi Bhajan
Kundalini Yoga is known as the Yoga of Awareness. It is a dynamic, powerful tool that is designed to give you an experience of your soul. It is considered the most comprehensive of all yoga traditions.
In Kundalini Yoga we harness the mental, physical and nervous energies of the body and put them under the domain of the will, the instrument of the soul. This technology precisely and consciously combines breath, mudra, eye-focus, mantra, body locks, meditation and postures to balance the glandular system, strengthen the nervous system, expand lung capacity and purifiy the blood. It brings balance to the mind, body and soul. Kundalini is the latent female energy that lies coiled at the base of the spine. It alludes to the flow of energy and consciousness that exists within each of us and enables us to merge with the universal Self. The fusing of the individual and universal consciousness creates a divine union known as yoga. When we apply the technology of Kundalini Yoga to our bodies and minds it has an effect of uplifting the spirit. It is a system directed towards the release of this dormant serpent like Kundalini energy. It is universal, and truly is for everyone.
When you practice Kundalini Yoga & Meditation with intention and a certain quality of heart you come into right relationship with your essential self. You shift from physical, mental, and emotional patterns of distortion and dissonance to resonance and connection. You reveal your innate radiant energy in order to refine your voice, cultivate physical and emotional consistency, and amplify meaning in your life and your practice. Through asana and pranayama, self-reflection, subtle body alignment, meditation, acceptance, presence, and allowing, you expose and clear expressions of dense emotions and focus your energy in a love based approach to life that offers greater clarity of mind.
Five Sutras of the Aquarian Age According to Kundalini Yoga
Recognise that the other person is you.
There is a way through every block.
When the time is on start and the pressure will be off.
Understand through compassion or you will misunderstand the times.
Vibrate the cosmos and the cosmos shall clear the path.
Join us for a rejuvenating and relaxing Kirtan Kriya + Yoga Nidra class, and experience the sound of stillness. This class combines the benefits of two incredibly powerful meditation practices to help you achieve deep relaxation, mental clarity and a sense of inner peace.
Kirtan Kriya is a form of meditation practised in Kundalini Yoga that involves the use of a specific mantra, mudra and visualisation technique. By repeating the mantra and performing the mudra while focusing on specific parts of the body practitioners of Kirtan Kriya experience a deep sense of relaxation and an increased sense of well-being. The mantra used represents the cycle of creation; from the infinite comes life and individual existence, from life comes death or change, from death comes the rebirth of consciousness and from rebirth comes the joy of the infinite through which compassion leads back to life. This mantra is a catalyst for change and will help you to consolidate the changes you desire to implement in your life.
The practice of Kirtan Kriya has been studied extensively and has been found to have numerous health benefits, from reducing stress and anxiety to improving cognitive function and promoting overall mental and physical health.
Yoga Nidra is an immensely powerful technique of deep relaxation, also known as ‘Yogic Sleep’, equivalent to 4 hours of deep sleep! As you rest comfortably in savasana, this systematic meditation takes you through the five layers of self, leaving you with a deep sense of wellbeing and wholeness. The goal of Yoga Nidra is to enter a state of conscious relaxation in which the mind is fully aware while the body is completely relaxed. You will be guided to awaken the senses and encouraged to stay aware, as you gradually relax deeper and deeper. As the body and mind become more relaxed you will enter a state of consciousness somewhere between awake and asleep.
The practice of Yoga Nidra has several benefits. It reduces stress and anxiety, improves sleep, increases focus and concentration, and enhances creativity and intuition. It will also help to cultivate a sense of inner peace and calm, and promote a greater connection with your inner self.
Whether you are new to meditation or have an established practice, this class is suitable for all levels. Come and experience the transformative power of these ancient practices.
