So many different types of yoga and I know it can be a little confusing when you see a whole bunch of names on a list for yoga studio or gym and you don't know which one to choose.
So if you see kundalini yoga what does that entail?
So kundalini yoga is yoga of awareness because it's basically trying to activate the part of your spine which holds kundalini energy.
The purpose is to unblock the chakras that we have so that you can elevate your consciousness and it's done by using chanting,
Breath work,
And movement.
This type of yoga definitely centers spirituality.
Typically you start off with a chant of a mantra and then you move into these repetitive sequence of poses and breathing and then of course you end with meditation.
So comparing this to maybe Hatha yoga where you're focusing more on the posture,
On the structure,
On breath,
This one is kind of weaving them all together to ignite that energy that we do have at the base of our spine.
The purpose is to combine all of these techniques so that we really awaken the that we have and elevate the consciousness.
Of course posture alignment and flexibility is typically important mostly for physical safety but I would say it's less prioritized in this type of yoga compared to again Hatha.
What I would wear to this kind of class is something that makes you feel very free because we don't want any type of restriction because if we think about the energy that we're trying to awaken it needs to feel I don't know or have any other better way to describe it but besides And we don't want to be stuck in these rigid clothes that make us feel tight or small or like we need to go like this.
You know,
We really want to open ourselves up to the energy.
If you're looking for a yoga class that's really focused on spirituality,
Then I think this one would be for you.
I hope that this clears up any confusion that you may have.
