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 each teacher is different because each 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. This is 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 work toward feeling safe enough to practice 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 is explained at the opening. A series is usually 7-12 individual yoga postures and breaths, and posture is taught with variations available to suit everybody. We encourage the use of props, and we’re 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. You’ll be reminded to check in with how you’ve made yourself feel in these pauses, and this practice is important. This is all explained in class, and I look forward to welcoming you.
