Stress takes a significant toll on the body, causing both physical and mental tension, as well as debilitating fatigue and lack of coping skills.
Stress can come about from within our own inner system, from outside of us, or from a low level of resilience.
Internal stress can come from emotions, like the emotions of feeling guilt and shame about the past, or feeling fearful and anxious about the future. Anger and depression also creates a lot of stress within our system.
Internal stress can come from false beliefs, limited programs, negative thinking, etc.
Other internal stressors can come from toxins, illnesses, pain, injury, lack of movement or hormonal imbalances.
External stresses can come from our environment, our relationships, work environment, circumstances, expectation from others, social pressures or our job.
In order to effectively combat the negative effects of stress, it is essential to prioritize relaxation techniques, bring energy to the adrenal glands, have the prana of the body flowing efficiently, and having a high level of internal resilience.
In these classes we bring energy and vitality back to the adrenal glands, release toxins, release water retention and release blocks form the body to have more energetic flow and ease.
The classes also bring calmness to the mind, relaxes the body and gives us more energetic resilience to cope.
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!!
