The science of Yoga is the greatest spiritual technology that has ever been given to humankind. We are very fortunate at RYK Yoga and Meditation that Cosmin Mahadev Singh offers two of the most healing yoga paths, Kundalini and Yin to us daily. Kundalini opens the body through the use of asanas and breathing techniques designed to specifically heal targeted systems, organs and parts of the body. Chanting and gong add sound healing to the experience and meditation takes us to the blissful bottomless well of connection to source. It is powerful and it works. But in expanding my practice to include Yin Yoga, I discovered something quite magical and profound.
Yin Yoga focuses on the foundation of your physical structure. It moves deeply into the fascia, the underlying connective tissue that literally holds our bodies together. It is a slow deep practice that leads you to the edge of your discomfort and insists that you rest there until the body surrenders back into place. Tensions are released, adhesion break apart, emotional wounding rises and evaporates, you walk away floating.
I started to notice that I was stronger in my Kundalini Yoga classes after I had taken a Yin Yoga class. So I began to combine the practices in a systematic way, making sure to take the same number of Kundalini and Yin classes each week. I found that they worked synergistically to create a dynamic healing result. I am now into the 4th month of using these two amazing technologies together. I am stronger than I’ve been in years and seeing more improvement with each class. Do yourself a favor and try this. It will transform your life!
