Functional Fitness Kundalini Yoga Older Adults

One way to reduce your falls risk, improve balance, strength, and mobility is to participate in Kundalini Yoga.  This is an ancient practice of yoga presented in the States by Yogi Bhajan in the late 1960's.

Kundalini is available energy (prana) stored at the bottom of the spine that can be lifted up through the body engaging each of the seven chakras.  The chakra is a circular swirling port of energetic exchange.  Improved awareness manifests as the energy moves upward toward the (crown chakra) head. 

Kundalini yoga employs chanting to focus the mind.  Breathing to oxygenate the body.  Poses (Kriya) to provide a familiar structure to the session.  Stretching with improved flexibility.  The practice supports mental and physical strengthening.

Kundalini energy is communicated in the symbol of the snake coiled at the base of the spine.  Seniors find both body and mind experience the therapeutic benefits of participating in Kundalini Yoga.
