Kundalini Yoga & Meditation

A transformational and powerful yoga practice that creates long-lasting physical and emotional balance, focus, intuitive clarity, and deep healing. Class includes breathwork, physical postures, gong relaxation, and healing meditations.

We will work with the power of our breath, learning multiple breathing techniques which will support us not only in our practice but in our everyday living.

Breathwork can help release built-up tension and pent-up energy as well as create the magic of slowing down time. With the combination of dynamic yogic postures, breathing techniques, and deep meditations, we will improve physical and mental flexibility and build both strength and calm within the nervous system. Some of our long-term goals that will transfer outside of class are to create ease within the challenge, doing without "doing" and moving energy through the body keeping us balanced and happy.

This class is open to all levels, beginners and longtime practitioners.
