“Kundalini yoga is a science which works with the seven chakras, and the arcline and the aura (the Eight Chakra).
It works directly on the total energy, and that flow of energy has one simple way: either you sway it or it sways you. Either you are above the energy and ride it, or you go below the energy
and it rides you.
That is where Kundalini Yoga fits in :
you will learn to ride your energy, to experience it and penetrate any given situation to attain a balance”.
Yogi Bhajan

“What is kundalini actually ?
It is your creative potential. You experience it when the energy of the glandular system combines with the energy of the nervous system to create such a sensitivity that the totality of the brain receives signals and integrates them. Then you become totally and wholly aware, and your creative potential becomes available to you”.
- Yogi Bhajan

Kundalini is considered to be the most comprehensive of yogas, combining meditation, prayer, dynamic postures and breathing exercises (pranayama).

“Kundalini” literally means “the curl of the lock of hair of the beloved”. This poetic metaphor alludes to the flow of energy and consciousness that exists within each and every one of us, and enables us to merge with – or “yoke” – the Universal Self. Fusing individual and universal consciousness creates a divine union, called “yoga.”
Every individual is a manifestation of that energy, and the univers around us is the outcome of the same consciousness, ever revealing itself in various mode. The Upanishads, Hindu’s sacred scriptures that date back to the fifth century B.C., describe Kundalini, although the oral tradition reaches back even further into history. For thousands of years, this sacred practice was veiled in secrecy, passed along verbally from master to chosen disciple.
