Class structure
A Kundalini Yoga session lasts 60 to 90 minutes and includes the following elements: tuning in – warm ups - yoga set or kriya - relaxation - meditation – closing.
Tuning in & conclusion
Every session starts with chanting the mantra "Ong Namo, Guru Dev Namo" which means "I bow to the infinte, divine teacher within myself".
We follow tuning in with the mantra for protection:
Aad Guray Nameh (I bow to the Primal *Guru)
Jugaad Guray Nameh (I bow to the *Guru woven throughout time.)
Sat Guray Nameh (I bow to the True *Guru, the true identity of the Self)
Siri Guru Devay Nameh (I bow to the Great *Guru whose Great Glory will always be.) *Guru: that which brings us from darkness (Gu) to light (Ru)
By chanting these mantras you open yourself for the experience of Kundalini Yoga. The mantra's gives access to the positive connection between yourself and your higher conscience.
We conclude the kundalini yoga session by singing a song and chanting ‘Sat Nam’.
This mantra integrates the effect of the discipline and reaffirms your authentic self.
