Kundalini Yoga for Stress
Some of our day-to-day stressors build our capacity, our muscle and our teeth for life.
But sometimes our ‘stress monster’ gets so out of hand that we don’t know who we are anymore. That becomes a great pain of life when our authentic, royal, regal and sovereign self is dethroned or left forever undiscovered.
We deserve to be rid of that deep-seated stress to be able to look with all new eyes and so handle the diversity of life.
In this class we will work with the elements and enter the stress-free zone. All levels welcome – even if you have never practiced Kundalini Yoga .
“You can be above the energy of life and ride it or you can be below the energy of life and have it ride you. This is where Kundalini Yoga fits in. It teaches you how to ride the energy.”
Yogi Bhajan
Pritam Hari Kaur Khalsa teaches Kundalini Yoga and teacher training. She has published a picture book in yoga, called the Kundalini Yoga Fan. She shares a wealth of knowledge in natural foods and healing through her and her husband Har Bhajan’s brand, FRUITS & ROOTS NATURAL FOODS.
Satya Kirtan
Kirtan is the art of devotional music that invites us as a sangat, a congregation, to celebrate and praise source through chant. It is the experience of the individual elevating to a state of merger. The gathering of the voices around us draws us into our own experience and what we share with the group. We might have felt that we cannot sing – but we can still chant! We explore breath and voice to awaken our expression in this class of kirtan and chant.
SATYA has been chanting and sharing for the past two years and is focussed through the musical excellence of
Natalie Vlismas/ Siri Kirtan Kaur (voice, piano) and Gidon Lazarus (guitar) and friends.
