Anyone who is considering studying Kundalini yoga can expect a class that begins with a small, simple chant that is followed by a warm up that involves stretching of the spinal area to improve flexibility. Afterward, the main exercises, also known as kriya, are performed. A very specific series of poses are done that focus on certain parts of the body, and, unlike many other more traditional yoga classes, the instructor does not make any adjustments to the students' bodies while they are in pose. The class ends with meditation, possibly accompanied by a song and the instructor playing a gong type of instrument. In a Kundalini class, students may also don white, flowing robes and head wraps, although this will probably depend on the class, students and teacher.
In general, Kundalini yoga is one of the more spiritual forms of this type of exercise due to the way it goes beyond simply the physical movements and poses. It is a great means of meditation, spirituality and of course can improve your breathing. Because it required a great deal of concentration, you tend to forget the world around you. It’s a wonderful feeling to leave everything behind and is one of the keys to getting the most out of it. At the same time, Kundalini yoga tends to be quite physically intense and should only be performed by individuals who are up to both the physical and mental challenges it can impose. Kundalini could also assist patients diagnosed with an illness such as PericardialMesothelioma as a complementary treatment. Doing Kundalini regularly is when I started to notice the differences with tension built up through the day. I’m not too much of a sucker for the spiritual side of it, but get benefits from it just the same.
