Kundalini Yoga and Meditation is one of the many traditions of yoga that share common roots in ancient Indian philosophy. It is comprehensive in that it combines physical poses, breath control (pranayama), chanting (mantras), meditations, visualizations, and guided relaxation. It is an elaborate system focused on healing the body, mind and emotions. Kundailini Yoga incorporates many aspects of other forms of yoga as well as related techniques of meditation and relaxation. It also offers teachings for life skills such as human relations, parenting, communication, yogic nutrition and health. However, the emphasis is more on energy, breathing and moving meditative exercises and less on physical poses to build strength and flexibility (although these are definitely gained)! Kundalini Yoga uses kriyas, specially formulated sets of exercises. There are traditional Indian kriyas and adapted western versions. Kundalini Yoga and Meditation is advocated as a way to keep the body in good healthful condition, and trains the mind to be resilient and flexible in response to stress and change.
Structural Alignment and Stretch class is gentle and brings relief for chronic tension that causes joint and muscular pain and problems with mobility. In this class you will learn alot about yourself and how to confront and ease your habit of reacting triggered by the various stress triggers you encounter daily.
