- Strengthening the nervous system
- Stretching and developing muscles to cultivate strength and flexibility
- Stimulating the circulation of blood and lymph to cleanse the body of toxins and waste products
- Increasing awareness of the body’s internal processes
Kundalini yoga also works at an energetic level, with muscles acting as energy catalysts influencing specific meridians or nadis and organs in the body. Strengthening the muscles promotes healthy energy flow, and the chakra system is profoundly influenced by pranayam, kriya and meditation. Kundalini meditation is a process for commanding and transcending the waves of the mind. Regular practice promotes:
- A sense of peace, stability and calm
- Increased awareness and release of unconscious habit and subconscious fears
- Experience of the infinite through deep connection with the soul
