Amrit Sadhana: Introduction to Kundalini Yoga, the Nectar of Practice with Sierra Hollister, 200 E-RYT and Certified Level I Para Yoga Teacher Instructor with Yoga Club Teacher Training During this immersion into Kundalini Yoga, students will experience the beauty and power of one of the oldest systems of Yoga still practiced today. Kundalini Yoga is a form of Raja Yoga, the royal path. Raja Yoga is a path of meditation, a science with a philosophy that includes the path of the eight limbs as expounded by Patanjali. As Yogi Bhajan says “Kundalini Yoga is the master science of experience and awareness. It is a transmission of consciousness from person to person. It is a Raja Yoga that awakens you inside. That is the basic difference between Hatha Yoga and Kundalini Yoga.” The history of Kundalini Yoga, including roots, origins, the golden chain and devotional aspects will be explored as well as the science beneath the practice of Kundalini Yoga. As part of the Amrit Sadhana weekend, students will learn about as well as experience all of the foundational pranayamas, asanas, kriyas, meditations, mantras, bandhas, mudras and relaxation. Yogic Anatomy will be addressed primarily through the study of the Chakras, the teachings of the Ten Bodies system, prana, and the nadis. This weekend will also include sections on Humanology, Yogic Lifestyle, Yogic Diet as well as some basic philosophical concepts of Yoga (the Eight-limbs, Maya, Tattvas, Gunas and Dharma). The Five Stages on the Path of Wisdom will be shared as well as teachings on Cosmic Cycles (the Yugas) and the Ashtang Mantra for this time. Participants will gain a deep understanding of the principles of Kundalini Yoga as well as of Yoga in general. As Gurucharan Singh Khalsa has said, “Practice brings awareness, awareness brings subtlety, subtlety brings depth, depth brings dedication, dedication brings humility, humility brings grace, and grace brings you the master’s touch, which is that presence of spirit that is timeless, without ego and without any boundaries- pure and infinite.” About Kundalini Yoga Kundalini Yoga is often called the Mother of all Yoga. More than 6,000 years old, it contains asana, kriya, mantra, kirtan, and pranayama. Kundalini literally means the coil of the beloved and refers to the Kundalini energy that lies dormant until awakened at the base of the spine. This energy when aroused brings clarity, joy, enlightenment and well being. Kundalini Yoga spans a wide range from gentle and devotional to extremely vigorous and challenging. Kundalini Yoga is often referred to as the Yoga of Awareness. A typical class will include a warm-up, salutations, and a "set"- a sequence of specific poses designed to elicit a desired outcome. Always there will be a gentle cleansing of body, mind and soul and restoration of health and well being.
