Ever wondered where Kundalini yoga comes from? Join
us to explore the streams of Kashmiri Shaivite, Tibetan, Shakti, and
Tantra traditions and how they mingled to inform Neo-Kundalini yoga
practices across the globe. On our first day together, we will focus on
the philosophical and spiritual foundations of our practice to expand
our understanding of the energetic chakras and nadi channels of the
body. We will understand how the ascetic practices of Patanjali differ
from the Siddhi tantric practices of raja yoga, and how both these
thought traditions inform our efforts to raise our consciousness. We
will study the paths of jnana, karma, and bhakti yoga to grasp the
spiritual underpinnings of yoga. On our second day together, we will
delve into the process and ethics of teaching Kundalini yoga. We will
study the important role seasons, diet, breathe, mental and
psycho-social ecosystems play in how we hold space for ourselves and
others in practice. We will reflect on the importance of teaching in an
authentic, kind, trauma-informed way to avoid spiritual bypassing in our
practice spaces. This workshop is an ideal primer for yoga enthusiasts
as well as yoga teachers eager to place our practices in a safe,
culturally appropriate, and respectful context.
