What are Kundalini Global classes like?
I teach Kundalini Global because it has helped me so much on my own path towards becoming unaddicted. It’s a beautiful practice that has immediate and profound effects on how we experience our daily life.
Kundalini Global is not a prescriptive practice, and every teacher will be different because every teacher is encouraged to be themselves.
However, we do share certain beliefs about how to uphold the Kundalini Global aims of inclusivity, kindness and self-awareness.
All classes open with a simple, accessible, extremely powerful, stretch. That we all do this is not about our practice being prescriptive but about recognising how important it is that every single person in a class can start from a place of presence. And the stretch really works for that. The Kundalini Global opening stretch is about resetting the stress system and landing into the body. Once learned, it can be used as a tool any time, any place, when you notice you don’t like how you feel.
We encourage clients to walk toward feeling safe enough to practise with the eyes closed. We usually begin a class with breathwork, before moving to a gentle warm up and then move into a yoga series.
The named yoga series used within Kundalini Global help frame an intention for each class, which the teacher will explain at the opening. A series will usually be formed of between 7-12 individual yoga postures and breaths. Posture is taught with variations available to suit everybody. We encourage the use of props, and we are kind with timings... we do not hold extremely strong postures for prolonged periods of time.
Between postures we will take pauses. Sometimes sitting, sometimes lying back. Teachers will remind you to check in with how you’ve made yourself feel in these pauses, and this practice is important. I explain why in class, and I invite you to join me and experience how it feels for yourself.
