Yoga has its origins in human experience, said to have evolved over 40,000 years ago. The work of the early yogis was based upon tangible observations of the effects of different activities on one’s energy. Over time this led to over 22 different schools of yoga.
Kundalini yoga is a Raj yoga that establishes an aligned relationship with the Body, Mind, and the Soul.It utilizes a combination of technologies: (1) Physical Posture and Movement, (2) Conscious Breathing, (3) Meditation, and (4) Mantras and Sound Vibration.

I remember my first yoga class in 1995 like yesterday, it was the first time I was able to completely relax my body and let go of my over-thinking mind. I had initially attended yoga classes to strengthen my core, become more flexible, reduce my persistent migraines and handle exam stress better; However, that all changed in 1999 with my first kundalini yoga class, which began my daily love affair practicing yoga and meditations as a way to journey deeper into myself. Although I practiced many types of yoga and meditations over the past few decades, kundalini yoga has been my key spiritual foundation to explore the depths of my mind, body and my connection to my soul. And has sustained my physical health, with a strong immune system, a strong nervous system, vital glands, and good circulation.
