WHAT IS IT?
Some of its greatest advocates call Kundalini the weird yoga. Certainly, compared to the Hatha and Vinyasa styles popular in the West today, it can seem strange. A typical class includes breath work, a kriya (a series of exercises), deep relaxation often accompanied by gong, and meditation. Teachers don’t choreograph sequences. Instead, they follow specific protocols, teaching Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan.
