A brief introduction to Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini Yoga is a householders yoga.  The system is a technology that allows us to move our bodies, harness our mind to experience and elevate our soul, while simultaneously needing to be a husband/wife, caregiver/parent, employee/employer (ie, regular life continues!). 

Yogi Bhajan brought the secrets of Kundalini Yoga to the west when he move to the United States in 1969, in order to assist everyday people in transitioning from the Piscean Age (where religion was the opiate of the masses, with lack of equality, masculine/feminine energies not in balance) to the Aquarian Age  (associated with electricity, computers, flight, democracy, freedom, humanitarianism, idealism, modernization, astrology, nervous disorders, rebellion, nonconformity, philanthropy, veracity, perseverance, humanity, and irresolution).  Yogi Bhajan often said what worked in the past will no longer work. 

​

In the Aquarian Age, fatigue and feelings of alienation are prevalent and we turn to technology such as social media and other stimulus to counteract the feelings of loneliness.  Our nervous systems are fatigued and we feel constantly "on the go" and we have no ability to allow our mind to relax and return to a neutral state.  Yogi Bhajan taught Kundalini Yoga so that people would have techniques to consciously develop the sensory system, and find their Strength Within. 

"Kundalini Yoga is the science to unite the finite with Infinity, and it's the art to experience Infinity in the finite." -Yogi Bhajan, 10/27/88
