“Kundalini Yoga is a Science which works on the seven chakras, the arcline and the aura (the 8th chakra). It works directly on the total energy, and that flow of energy has one simple way: either you sway it, or it sways you. Either you are above the energy and ride it, or you go below the energy and it rides you. That is where Kundalini Yoga fits in: you will learn to ride your energy, to experience it and penetrate any given situation and attain balance.
What is kundalini actually? It is your creative potential. You experience it when the energy of the glandular system combines with the energy of the nervous system to create such a sensitivity that the totality of the brain receives signals and integrates them. Then you become totally and wholly aware and your creative potential becomes available to you.
The Power of Kundalini Yoga lies in the actual experience. It goes right into your heart and extends your consciousness so you may have a wider horizon of grace and of knowing the truth. Ultimately you come to understand your existence in relationship to the universe and understand you already are, and this brings you to the practical experience of Infinity. You can then radiate creativity and Infinity in all aspects of your daily life.”
-Yogi Bhajan
Kundalini Yoga is the yoga of awareness. Practice will expand your consciousness and bring awareness of your higher self into daily life.
We all feel “blocked” sometimes, with no answers to situations that are not going our way.
To experience flow in our lives, kundalini yoga creates harmony within the body through kriyas (purifying actions), movement (asana), breath (pranayam), and sound (mantra). This heals the entire human system. In this way, we shift our inner world, and therefore our outer world. We find our minds calmer, and more aware of our thought patterns and the emotions they create. We awaken from our compulsive thinking and internal dramas that pull us away from our power.
Yogi Bhajan was born Harbhajan Singh Puri on August 26, 1929 in what is now Paksitan, and died in Espanola, New Mexico on October 6, 2004. His legacy lives on in his teachings, through the body of technology called Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan.
Besides Kundalini Yoga, Harbhajan studied Hatha Yoga and spent time at Sivananda Ashram in Rishikesh. He then began studying Kundalini Yoga, Tantric Yoga and Gong meditation under Sant Hazara Singh, master of Kundalini Yoga and Mahan Tantric of that time. By 16 years old he was acknowledged by Santji to have attained mastery of Kundalini Yoga.
In 1969 Yogi Bhajan brought this sacred and secret yoga technology to the west and founded 3HO “Healthy Happy Holy Organization” - a not-for-profit organization. Its mission to share the lifestyle, yoga and meditation practices of Kundalini Yoga which allow us to walk through life with open hearts, healthy bodies and meaningful purpose.
