40 Day Kundalini Yoga Challenge
Kundalini yoga (kuṇḍalinī-yoga) derives from kundalini, defined in tantra as energy that lies within the body, frequently at the navel or the base of the spine. In normative tantric systems, kundalini is considered to be dormant until it is activated (as by the practice of yoga) and channeled upward through the central channel in a process of spiritual perfection.
What has become known as "Kundalini yoga" in the 20th century, after a technical term particular to this tradition, is actually a synthesis of Bhakti Yoga (devotion and chanting), Raja Yoga (meditation) and Shakti Yoga (the expression of power and energy)."[9][better source needed] However, it may include haṭha yoga techniques (such as bandha, pranayama, and asana), Patañjali's kriya yoga (consisting of self-discipline, self-study, devotion to God, dhyāna, and samādhi), tantric visualization and meditation techniques of laya yoga (known as samsketas)
My Journey with Kundalini Yoga
When I was going through university, I was blessed, as Kundalini Yoga mysteriously came into my life. I was lucky that in the quite small town of Lismore, a beautiful teacher (Siri Shakti) made this style of yoga available to the town.
I know I was blessed to receive her teachings - as the wisdoms and teachings were exactly what my stressed out body craved!
I created a new habit, by embarking on this online 40 day challenge
Creating a daily Kundalini Yoga practice allowed me to maintain my energy throughout 5 years of university.
Because of the changes I could feel within my body and mind, I realised potent and powerful these exercises were & I decided to embark on a mission to the North of India, finding myself immersed in Traditional Kundalini Yoga for a month at Nada Yoga school (also highly recommend these gorgeous yogis).
This month were so cleansing for me, as day by day my 7 chakras were impulsed & purified through external and internal practice.
What a gift to have been given this sacred knowledge. So blessed!
