October 19, 2007, Newsletter Issue #159: Kundalini Yoga Slows The Pace

Tip of the Week

Gaiam Tip: If you are a regular participant in ashtanga yoga and power yoga classes and you decide to try a kundalini yoga class, you will be frustrated if you are expecting the movement and aerobic intensity other types of hatha yoga. In kundalini yoga, you will spend as much—or more—time in stillness as in motion.

Also, the instructor in a kundalini class or a class that incorporates more meditation may lead the class in a chant (often in Sanskrit) before the class begins. If you don’t know it, don’t worry, just listen and drawn energy from the collective sound of the class. Many kundalini or meditation-oriented class involve music as well. That doesn’t mean you can bring your own iPod, though. The choice of music is up to the instructor.
