People tell me it is physically challenging and that they appreciate knowing the fine points of focus. In short, the asana practice I teach at Yoga Shala is slow, focused and methodical. I give a lot of instruction on alignment and actions in each pose, instead of flowing through many poses in quick suc

Kundalini Yoga is a dynamic practice that incorporates kriyas (practice sequences), mantra (chanting and sound), and pranayam (breathing). The teachings of Kundalini Yoga were introduced to the west through the wisdom and generosity of Yogi Bhajan, who came to the United States in 1967 to share the traditions and knowledge he had received in India. Through the proper practice of these teachings, one can develop a calm mind, a strong yet relaxed body, and the experience of linking the finite self with the infinite consciousness.
