How you sequence Kundalini yoga poses is determined by your ultimate goal for the Kundalini session. In Kundalina yoga, there are many different sequence sets that you can try, each one focusing on the area of your body and energy that needs work. These sequences are called kriyas. A kriya combines yoga poses with flow movement, breathing, vocalized mantras and hand positions, also called mudras. Here is a Kundalini yoga sequence that you can use to wake up the body.
Do a Dolphin Yoga Pose
Practicing the dolphin yoga pose benefits you in many ways. It prepares you for harder poses, improves your posture and strengthens your back and arms. Learn the dolphin yoga pose and improve the physical condition of your upper body.
Do Vinyasa Yoga
Vinyasa yoga is a form of yoga that concentrates on the importance of breathing and performing poses in a balanced way. Instead of just staying in one position, you go through various poses to complete a Vinyasa yoga sequence.
Practice Kriyas in Sivananda Yoga
One of the lesser known aspects of the Sivananda tradition of yoga is a group of practices known as "kriyas". The six kriyas are practices that are designed to be used in combination with asanas to cleanse and purify the body and mind for greater health. The kriyas may seem odd at first, but they are really not too challenging. Two, however, are somewhat involved and should probably only be practiced with further direction.
Target the Brain WIth Yoga
If you thought that yoga was improving your physical fitness, it may surprise you to know that yoga also stimulates brain function. Yoga poses which increase blood flow and oxygen supply to the brain can calm anxiety, improve concentration and soothe mild depression as they balance hormones and chemicals in the brain.
