Have you ever thought about beginning a yoga practice, but been confused about where to start? Here, we’ll answer some of the most frequently asked questions about Kundalini Yoga, hopefully preparing you better to begin your own journey!
Q: What is Kundalini Yoga?
A: Kundalini Yoga is a practice that combines different elements of Yoga. It combines elements of the physical, mental, and spiritual in order to help you achieve your greatest potential in life. Kundalini Yoga helps people remove mental and energetic blocks that may be holding them back and encourages them to embrace others and the world around them to achieve their highest purpose.
Q: How long should I practice Kundalini Yoga? Should I practice every day?
A: There is no set answer for how long your personal sessions should be. Generally, if you were to practice at home starting with about ½ hour for any given session is preferable, but if you only have the time for ten or fifteen minutes, any work that you put towards your practice will yield beneficial results. You also do not need to practice every single day; even if you only practice few times a week, you will still reap amazing benefits. Just make sure you are practicing regularly and not sporadically if you want to achieve the best results.
Q: What are the benefits of Kundalini Yoga?
A: There are many benefits to practicing Kundalini Yoga regularly. It can help you ease your mind through focusing and meditation. It can also clear any energy blocks that you may be experiencing, allowing you to focus on creating your most positive and balanced self. Through practicing Kundalini Yoga alone or with others, you can also create a sense of community or open communication with yourself and the world around you.
Q: Do I need to take classes?
A: While some practices can be done at home we recommend attending classes that are taught by a Kundalini Yoga certified teacher. Being in a group while practicing increases your sense of community and being part of a greater whole, yielding better results. The energy levels of a group is much higher than the energy levels you alone produce, and many people find that the group setting produces a more positive and meaningful experience than practicing alone.
