Experience transformation of consciousness through the practice of ancient
Yoga techniques to alleviate stress, improve mental and physical health and
dissolve the limited mind into the Universal

Kundalini Yoga consists of postures (Asanas) and movement, combined with
specialized breathing (Pranayama), hand gestures (Mudras), body locks
(Bhandas), chanting (Mantras) and meditations, together or in sequence to
create exact, specific effects to strengthen and tone the nerves, glands and
organs of the body and ultimately draw the mind and senses inward to
experience deep pervasive consciousness.

While toning and stretching the muscles of the body, Kundalini Yoga is
primarily designed to open, develop and strengthen the internal physiology
of the body – the organs, glands and nervous system – in order to bring the
body and mind to a complete and natural balance.

The experience of Kundalini Yoga begins with the systematic cleansing of the
cells of the body, through postures and movements combined with strong and
powerful breathing, and gradually leads to the inner sensing of the body’s
natural electricity, called prana or "life force." Gradually the mind
connects to the flow of prana and a subtle connection to the Universal flow
awakens and emerges in consciousness. This emerging of the awareness of this
subtle connection is Kundalini.

Therefore Kundalini Yoga is known as the Yoga of Awareness

For several Kundalini Yoga sessions, it's helpful to focus on sets that
generally purify the organs, glands and nerves of the body, in particular
the left and right channels, the ida and pingala, and the central cord, the
sushumna and para nadi. This should be followed by the Pranayama series,
mentioned in the Morning Set, section XIV.

The pranayama series with its silent focus on the movement of prana
(bio-chemical energy) within the main nadis (nerves) is a meditation on the
life force that results in a feeling of deep silence of the mind, a silence
that embeds itself into all the previously charged cells of the body, out of
which there arises a feeling of beatitudes and purity, of longing to know
(hear) the Truth of the Saviors and Saints, which leads to the inner
awakening (recognition and recollection) to That Truth and abiding as singly
as Truth.
