Now here was a practice that did all of this and more, drawing in bioenergetics, psychology and philosophy. Often Hatha practice frustrated me because it didn’t go far enough. I was never interested in using yoga as acrobatics or even for relaxation – for me it was always about using the body to access deeper states of consciousness. From the first moment I was absolutely hooked. Bizarrely it hadn’t come across my radar until then – I had studied Kundalini via Tantra but had not realised that there was a branch of yoga dedicated to it. These two disciplines combined introduced me to the idea of Kundalini energy.īut it took until 2009 for me to encounter Kundalini Yoga. By the time I took my first yoga class I was already practising Tantric meditation via the teachings of Swami Muktananda. I had been on the path for inner knowledge since university where I studied philosophy, Eastern philosophy in particular. I would hound the teacher for books about yoga philosophy in a quest for deeper knowledge. I first took a yoga class in 1993 – it was Hatha yoga and I absolutely loved it. Here is the reason why I’ve stayed away from it recently. Since moving online I haven’t been teaching like this and I know that a few of you have been missing it. Those of you that have practised Kundalini Yoga with me over the years know that traditionally the class starts and ends with chanting. Wondered why I’ve stopped the chanting during the Kundalini sessions? This will explain why.
