Maybe this sounds familiar to you
- I am bored of exercising, I would rather practice something deeper.
- I feel that my body is rigid and it is hard to enjoy daily things.
- I live with stress and I somatize it (in my skin, digestive system, lowered immune system, headache, physical discomfort…).
- I feel anxiety, chest pressure, lack of general motivation..
- I need to balance myself physically and energetically
- My actual habits are preventing me from developing some important aspects of my life. It feels like if I was self-boycotting me.

How are kundalini yoga classes
A Kundalini Yoga class, has these parts: opening, warm up, kriya (exercises series), relaxation, meditation and closure.
Kriya means ‘complete action’. In a kriya, different elements are combined (asana, pranayama, mudra, mantra, drishti and bandha) to achieve a specific objective as, for instance: get rid of fear, expand your lung capacity, stress relief, obtaining emotional balance, to stimulate pituitary gland, the digestive system balance, stimulation of lymphatic system, make the heart stronger, etc.
This way, a kriya starts a sequence of mental, physical and emotional changes. Those changes affect our organism in a positive way and enhance our whole balance. Each kriya has a specific objective. However, all of them are affecting all levels of our Being.
The effects of the kriya prepare yourself to meditative state, making easier being in the ‘easy pose’ (meditative pose with crossed legs). All the exercises you are doing during the kriya, are changing the chemicals of your blood thanks to endocrine system stimulation and, all that, helps you to optimize your concentration.
“Kundalini Yoga experience does not mean that you are going to go through a deep trance and that you are going to be beyond this world. It helps you to integrate yourself in this reality, giving you a wider vision and the sensibility to act in a more efficient way”. (Yogi Bhajan)
How do i work
I adapt the practice to group needs, listening to the general requirements of the moment in which we are. I do not feel comfortable following dogmas, so I teach class in a flexible way, being coherent with the moment.
