Kundalini yoga is the yoga of awareness. It is taught through kriyas, or sets, that strengthen the nervous system, balance the glandular system and purify the body while calming the mind. Kundalini practice is an energetic practice that helps generate and transmute energy in a way that sheds light on imposed limitations and develops the intuitive mind. Kriyas often use mudras (locks), pranayama (breath), asana (posture) and mantra to produce an elevated state of being and over time, an elevated state of consciousness.
