These two classes work on reducing stress by healing and bringing energy back to the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands are the hormonal glands associated with vitality, health and our stress coping capacity.
The classes also work on releasing tension from the body and the mind, releasing toxins from the body and creating a sense of ease and calmness with our emotions.
I filmed this class set when I was visiting the town of Hua Hin in Thailand. The room’s walls were painted red… which brings a fiery element to the class. Fire is about burning up that which does not serve us, so it is quite fitting for the releasing of mental and emotional tension.
In our body the fire to burn up stagnation and old patterns is know, in yoga, as ojas. Ojas influences everything from our digestion, absorption of nutrients, immunity, physical strength, sleep, and the health of our skin to our emotional well-being, spiritual connection, and mental health.
Before you begin
- Set up your yoga / sadhana space. Read here about how to set up your space on the blog on Sadhana.
- Have all your items you will need in your sadhana space: a yoga mat (or soft surface to work on), a cushion, yoga block, shawl, water to drink, etc.
- Wear light, comfortable clothing that you can move easily in.
- Set aside 90 minutes where you will not be disturbed. Switch off your phone, put the dog out and let your family know you will be practicing your Kundalini Yoga for the next 90 minutes.
- Follow along with the video as it is laid out. This is very important as the class is designed in a very specific way for a specific outcome.
- Adapt as needed: You know your body and ability the best, so if you need to adjust a movement to cater for an injury or medical condition then do so. If you cannot do a particular posture or movement then sit quietly and do the breathing practice that comes along with the movement, but don’t skip the exercise. If you get tiered in a movement, take a short breather for a few seconds and then continue with the movement.
- Don’t skip the resting part (savasana) at the end of the class. This is a key element in the class where rest, integration, assimilation and absorption take place. If you feel you need more rest then lay down for a further 5 to 10 minutes once the class has ended.
- After the class: drink plenty of water, eat high vibrational foods and be aware of the changes you experience in your life!!
- ENJOY!!
