Yoga as Taught by Yogi Bhajan

Kundalini Yoga is the Yoga of awareness. The class sequences are passed down from Yogi Bhajan and include posture, breath, mudra (hand postion), movement and mantra (sound current).

Each class begins with a tune in, breathing exercises, warm ups, then a Yoga set followed by rest time and meditation. Kundalini Yoga is said to strengthen your immune, glandular and nervous systems.

This practice can energize and revitalize the body. It brings an awareness to the mind, body and spirit. Beginners are welcome. Read more
