I have tried most workouts these days. At least in some form. When I walked into Rama Yoga Institute (304 Lincoln Blvd., Venice, 90291; 310.664.3700), I had no idea what I was getting into with Guru Jagat’s Kundalini Yoga.
Kundalini Yoga is a complete system that amplifies the highest states of consciousness while removing lower vibrational energy from the physical and mental bodies of the practitioner. It was the perfect class for someone like me, who is always on the go. Kundalini opens up new realms of reality, vitality, prosperity, and creativity. Ultimately Kundalini Yoga is a practice that awakens the inner power that exists within all of us to create self-mastery and joy.
I was skeptical and curious all at once. I spoke with Guru Jagat before the class and she is quite possibly one of the coolest people I have met to date. She encompassed a cool factor that also had a bit of calm, edginess, and spirituality rolled up into one. She said Kundalini Yoga is unlike anything I have ever experienced. She was more than right.
With Kundalini Yoga, you have to allow yourself to let go. Through breathing exercises, focus, and simple exercises (held for a long time), you will reach a part of yourself you never knew existed. There were times I was brought to tears and times I watched myself in an outer body experience, but overall I left with an energetic calmness that I have never experienced. Let’s just say, I will be a frequent visitor.
