Although there are many types of yoga
and it may be impractical to try them all
experiencing some of the main branches -- including Kundalini yoga -- will give you a fuller grasp of yoga’s essence and benefits. Kundalini yoga isn't just another practice
however. It's often referred to as the mother of all yoga
and said to be one of the most powerful forms.

What's more
Kundalini yoga is a little different from other practices. Most forms of yoga concentrate on the body's poses
combined with breathing and meditation exercises. While Kundalini yoga still concerns itself with forms and poses
it places much more emphasis on breathing
chanting
and releasing a special energy we all possess unawares.

In Kundalini yoga
the special energy is likened to a powerful serpent lying asleep at the base of the spine. But practitioners can awaken the powerful serpent with the use of Kundalini techniques
releasing almost unimaginable energy.

How It’s Done

In Kundalini yoga
you'll combine classic poses
meditation
chanting or mantras
and also coordinate your breath and movement. In this yoga
the serpent that represents energy is said to lie asleep at the base of your spine
coiled and dormant. Specifically
this region is located in the perineum area of the body. That is
it lies between the rectum and the testicles in males
and between the vagina and the clitoris in females. When awakened
the dormant masculine energy (Siva) and feminine energy (Sakti) unite to create a powerful surge unlike anything you're likely to have experienced before.

What Can It Do For Me?

The powerful energy released by Kundalini yoga is said to do many things for the body. And yet
although it can help you physically
its primary benefits are spiritual. All the intangible energies that help to shape our lives are affected by Kundalini yoga
such as divine prosperity
and freedom from judgment. Once freed
this new energy helps to promote creativity and unconditional love. Needless to say
all these positive changes help sweep away any negative feelings
such as those associated with depression
or even long-standing resentments or jealousy.

If you would like to experience this type of amazing yoga
you’ll want professional guidance. Understanding more about how Kundalini works will help you achieve the results you seek
so a little private time with the books can help you as well. As with any yoga
it's best to learn Kundalini from an experienced instructor
who can help you focus your energy in addition to teaching you the techniques. Having an awakened yogi nearby can be half the battle.
