Kundalini Yoga combines yoga postures, chanting, breathing techniques and meditation in a single practice to raise your creative potential and awareness, otherwise known as your Kundalini energy. Kundalini Yoga is also called the Yoga of Awareness and the practice was passed down secretly from master to student during ancient Indian times. Yogi Bhajan, a renowned Kundalini Master, introduced Kundalini Yoga to the West in the 1960's, when he began teaching it in the United States. While Kundalini Yoga requires dedication and focus, you can learn more about it with these steps.
Begin a Pranayama Yoga Breathing Practice
Pranayama yoga breathing exercises are used in conjunction with yoga asana to control breathing. These ancient breathing techniques help yoga practitioners increase oxygen intake, detoxify the body and perform yoga postures more efficiently. Most people are in the habit of breathing shallowly, and when they feel anxious, they take rapid, short breaths. Pranayama exercises train people to breathe more deeply and completely. Changing your breathing habits can increase energy and decrease stress.
