Kundalini Yoga : The Essence of Yoga

by Dharma Singh Khalsa

UNLEASH YOUR POTENTIAL TO LIVE THE LIFE YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED.Kundalini yoga engages your unique sources of energy -- those that empower your spirit as well as your body. Drawing from the riches of ancient yogic tradition, The Kundalini Yoga Experience offers a system of physical poses, breathing techniques, and focused meditations that, when practiced together, will bring you



• Increased physical health and strength • Emotional balance • Heightened sensory awareness • Enhanced intuition and creativity

• Greater peace and fulfillment in relationships • A deeper sense of your own spirituality

Unlike any other yoga guide, The Kundalini Yoga Experience encourages you to develop a practice that suits your needs. At the start, a simple numerological profile based on your birth date reveals your strengths and weaknesses. From there, you'll learn which exercises and meditations will be most effective in helping you balance each energy center (or chakra) in your body. Clear instructions and photographs guide you through each step, and as you move from one to another, you'll see how physical movement and spiritual reflection go hand in hand to heal and strengthen every part of you.

With regular practice, you'll be surprised at how strong, healthy, and fulfilled you feel. Experiencing the power of Kundalini is your birthright -- embrace it!

This is such a well explained introduction to energetic concepts and Kundalini Yoga. I found the explanation of the glandular system and the chakras to be especially helpful, and the chakra questionnaire is great, even for those who are familiar with these concepts.

The introduction to The Kundalini Yoga Experience says: “Do the best you can.“ This is advice I did not heed when younger, particularly when it came to yoga. Why not just do the best, full-stop? Though I’d been practicing yoga for many years, my flexibility and strength had waxed and waned with various injuries and the inexorable progress of aging. Case in point: a few years ago I grew envious of a certain yoga instructor’s Instagram feed, which routinely featured her doing impossible-looking handstands in exotic locales. So that year, I resolved to nail handstands. Then came carpal tunnel syndrome, locking my wrists. Even a simple down dog was much too painful to practice. Distraught, I gave up yoga entirely.

Then I found The Kundalini Yoga Experience. Like your very own personal yoga instructor, this book unspools centuries of yogic wisdom, the basis of which is knowing yourself from within. That means listening to your breath and your body and adjusting your practice accordingly. This book is all about balance: emotional, physical, and spiritual. It’s both a comprehensive look at the history and pillars of yoga as well as an illustrated guidebook for posture and breath. Anyone practicing yoga—from newcomers to regulars—can benefit from its wisdom.

Nothing wrong with the book or the author.

Somehow I am so much into the Ramdev Patanjali yoga regime that this Kundalini yoga did not appeal to me.

You might be disappointed, If you have picked this book for Leaside reading !

For people focused on learning the kundalini yoga the yogi Bhajan way, this book might be a gem!

Great intro to the kundalini lifestyle. Great for those wanting to know the basics

I read a little - put it down and find practical application. Then I pick it up again and want to start all over from the beginning. IT's hard to get through the book because I want to absorb everything it has to offer.

So much information packed into a tiny, easy to read book. Would recommend to anyone.

Really good basic overview. Helpful for beginners. Will buy and add to my collection.

This informed me on my recent pratice. Kundalini is to be experienced, not learned. This book expanded my knowledge, especially numerology and chakras.

A great introduction to Kundalini yoga and chakra practice.

[Alona Perlin · Rating 2 out of 5]

I thought there would be more of the philosophy of Kundalini yoga behand this book. However, it was more practical information, such as yoga poses, etc.

[Liz Shine]

This book has a nice balance of read now pages and mark for later pages, each easy to distinguish. As a newb to Kundalini this book was immediately useful and also worth keeping next to my yoga mat.

[Jennifer]

Excellent for starters. Great poses!

[Tara Humphries]

Awesome manual for kriyas & meditations organized specifically around the Chakras and the 10 Bodies
