Each meditation has a particular effect: the promotion of emotional balance or of inner peace, energising the brain, increasing intuition, reducing stress, breaking addictions, strengthening the nervous system, helping one deal with earthquakes or solar flares, etc. Some are done silently, others use various mantras and mudras (hand / arm positions). There are literally thousands of different meditations in KY, which all vary in form. The deep relaxation also creates space for rejuvenation of spirit. Corpse pose and its alternatives allow the body and mind to relax completely, to integrate the effects of the kriya and to let the hormones that have been released by the glands during the kriya, circulate in the bloodstream. Alternatives for most postures can be provided if you are physically unable to do a certain posture or exercise.Īfter the main kriya there is a period of deep relaxation in savasana or corpse pose (or sometimes on the stomach or in baby pose).
Some kriyas involve a lot of sitting postures, others involve more ground work (lying down on the stomach and/or the back), still others are mainly done standing. Every kriya is different, and thus every KY class is different. detoxifying the kidneys or liver, improving the functioning of a certain organ or the glandular system, strengthening the nervous system, balancing both hemispheres, releasing fears, opening the heart chakra, stimulating the pituitary gland, etc. There are many hundreds of different kriyas, each with their own effect, e.g.
The main portion of the class consists of a kriya, a set of prescribed exercises done in a particular sequence and for a specific amount of time to create a desired effect.

Literally it translates as 'I bow to the Primal Wisdom, I bow to the Wisdom through the Ages, I bow to the True Wisdom, I bow to the great unseen Wisdom.' It develops the theme of the guru, the inner teacher, and declares the four stages of time through which the guru prevails before the beginning, through the ages past, in the present and in the future. This is a common KY mantra used for protection. Following this we chant the mantra Aad Guray Nameh, Jugaad Guray Nameh, Sat Guray Nameh, Siri Guru Dayvay Nameh three times. It also connects us to the 'Golden Chain', the energetic lineage of teachers and students of KY. Tuning in with this mantra sets and calms the mind. Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo commonly translates as 'I bow to the Creator, to the Divine Teacher within'. Chanting the mantra together brings the whole group to a common vibration as the class begins. This is a mantra to honour the Creation and tune into our inner guru, our inner teacher. Kundalini Yoga is a comprehensive, holistic system and so classes also often include discussions about different aspects of life and lifestyle, nutrition, and spiritual philosophy.Ī KY class begins with chanting the mantra Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo three times. Each class follows a similar structure which is outlined below. A typical class will last between 60 & 90 minutes.
