Getting Started with Kundalini Yoga

No previous experience necessary!

All you need to start a meaningful yoga practice is a healthy curiosity and an open heart. Remember, action creates motivation and not the other way around.
We welcome new students and are excited to have you.

For Your First Class

You can walk in or pre-register by viewing our regularly scheduled classes. Choose a class that meets your scheduling needs. In addition to Kundalini Yoga & Meditation classes, RYK offers other experiences to improve your overall physical, mental and spiritual condition.

Aim to arrive 10-15 minutes early so you can sign in, get acquainted with your surroundings, and perhaps even meet your teacher before class.

Tips & Recommendations

During your first class, go at your own pace and follow along with the other students. Your teacher will be there to assist you and answer any questions you may have.

You will also receive plenty of support and encouragement from your fellow yogis. Be assured that you are in good hands.

Yoga Equipment & Attire

There is no mandatory attire, equipment, or items to be purchased when you begin attending class or continue with your practice. During class, we provide yoga mats and pillows, and for your convenience, we offer an array of yoga and meditation products in our store to support or enhance your yoga practice.

What to Expect During Class

Although each Kundalini Yoga class you attend is uniquely designed to provide specific teaching and message, as well as physical exercises, breathing techniques, and meditations, all classes and workshops incorporate the fundamental Kundalini outline.

Tuning In

This practice consciously prepares you for a meditative state while releasing all the cares and concerns weighing on you. You dedicate this time to yourself and enter into the power of the present moment.

Pranayam

During class, we learn that breath is life energy itself. We learn how to breathe consciously and correctly. We can calm our minds and master all aspects of our lives.

Kriya

An exact dynamic combination of yoga positions, movements, breathing, and sound. It is a complete system that balances mind, body, and soul while increasing mental clarity and physical vitality.

Relaxation

Using the ancient Gong or soothing yet powerful mantras allows you to move beyond the boundaries of the mind: experience the infinite within the finite by letting go and discovering true relaxation.

Meditation

Brings awareness and control of our thoughts. Using mantra (sacred sound currents) and mudra (hand positions), we can clear negative patterns and connect with our higher consciousness.

Closing

We close our practice with a beautiful song of “May the long time sun shine upon you!”
