In this workshop you will be introduced to the tradition of Kundalini Yoga through the practice of Kriya Kundalini Pranayama. This kriya series consists of five/six seated asanas done in repetition, mostly involving spinal movements targeting the center of each chakra for Shakti awakening. There's a small break in between each set of movements to let the breath return to normal, and to allow for observation. You may wish to write down your experience, so a journal and pen is recommended. The sequence ends with a meditation in a relaxing asana series.

There are 7 major energy centres in your body, also known as Chakras…and this workshop is your invitation to experience your chakras. Introducing this ancient Yogic science in a traditional way, this program aims to bring balance and harmony in the body, mind, intellect, and life. This is a gateway to realising your True Self, the Bliss.
