About Kundalini Yoga
Kundalini Yoga is the science to unite the finite with Infinity, and it's the art to experience Infinity in the finite." - Yogi Bhajan, 10/27/88
Kundalini Yoga is called the Yoga of Awareness. It is a dynamic, powerful tool that is designed to give you an experience of your soul.
In Kundalini Yoga we harness the mental, physical, and nervous energies of the body and put them under the domain of the will, which is the instrument of the soul. This technology precisely and consciously combines breath, mudra, eye-focus, mantra, body locks, and postures to balance the glandular system, strengthen the nervous system, expand lung capacity, and purifiy the blood. It brings balance to the body, mind, and soul.
"In Kundalini Yoga the most important thing is your experience. It goes right to your heart. No words can replace your experience. Your mind may accept the words or it may not, but your consciousness will not accept just words." - Yogi Bhajan, The Aquarian Teacher Training manual, p. 20
Kundalini Yoga is not a religion. When we apply the technology of Kundalini Yoga to our bodies and minds, it has the effect of uplifting the spirit. It is for everyone. It is universal and nondenominational.
Kundalini Yoga is a yoga for householders, for people who have to cope with the daily challenges and stresses of holding jobs, raising families, and managing businesses. It is a path for everyone who wants the skills to cope successfully with the challenges of our times.
Kundalini Yoga was kept very secret until 1969 when Yogi Bhajan taught it openly in order to prepare humanity for the major changes that this planet is going through as we cross from the Piscean to the Aquarian Age. The ancient technology of Kundalini Yoga gives us the awareness and the fortitude to make this a smooth transition. The legacy of technical and spiritual knowledge that Yogi Bhajan studied and mastered in India is the gift he brought to the West.
"The kundalini experience does not mean you have gone into a deep breathless trance and are beyond this world. It integrates you more fully with reality and gives you a broader vision and sensitivity so that you can act more efficiently." - Yogi Bhajan, from Kundalini Yoga: The Flow of Eternal Power, back cover.

About chakra tuning & healing yoga
Chakra Yoga includes techniques that specifically focus on mind over matter. The key idea behind Chakra Yoga allows participants to move through and fully connect with different levels of chakra, also known as energy like vortexes within the body.
Yoga enthusiasts believe that 7 different charkas exist. Each one of these specific energy levels contains a different empowerment that allows the body to become one with the mind. Through practicing traditional yoga techniques, each person eventually will have the ability to completely link his or her mind with the body providing complete control and relaxation through all situations.
This mind over matter principle works to motivate yoga participants through day to day situations by having a better grasp on reality and conception. Through exercise techniques paired with meditative mind stimulus, the Chakra Yoga practice allows for both a healthy, sharp and well prepared body and bind, since both have proven to work concurrently.
Some Chakra Yoga techniques include less motion and more mind focusing work. In most cases, equal attention gets spent on both the mind and body, largely because the main objective of this specific yoga perspective directly targets connecting the two most vital parts of each human being.
Chakra Yoga includes postures and exercises that work to balance physical parts within the body while meditatively and physically renewing organs, cells and other anatomical building blocks. Another key goal that Chakra enthusiasts strive for involves the reduction of stress and the increase in energy through properly relaxing the entire body and sensitivity levels.
Through the use of holding physically stimulating postures, Chakra Yoga connects proper breathing techniques for an increase in mental and bodily energy. These combinations show links between charging the body and developing better concentration practices. Other mental techniques work to improve the overall ability of the brain, including emotional stability, a more keen perception and personal serenity.
While connecting energy levels to both the mind and body serves as a more spiritual focus of Chakra Yoga, actual physical benefits do occur through the use of the physical exercises that take place during a session. One key focus of these positions works to improve blood circulation in order to rid the body of toxins or harmful free radicals. This process also helps regulate lymphatic fluids which guide in immunity.
Each different level of charka does pay special attention to concentrated deep breathing. The focus on this valuable technique helps boost oxygen levels within the blood, playing a role in boosting immunity and helping with overall heart health.
Another key focus that allows participants to connect with each chakra or earthly element lies within the relaxation drills. These work to decrease muscle soreness and pain, while also eliminating high levels of stress throughout the entire nervous system, including the brain. Other physical stretching techniques help alleviate joint pain and increase flexibility to the skeletal muscle tissue. Some posture based drills help develop a stronger, more developed core.
