Class Structure

· The Structure of a Kundalini Yoga class:

1 – We tune in with the ADI MANTRA:

“ ONG NAMO, GURU DEV NAMO”

It means that “I call on the Divine wisdom”, “I call on the Infinite creative consciousness”

It also connects us to “The Golden Chain”, which is the lineage of the teachings, all the Teachers who have come before. We are energetically tuning into the frequency.

We sit in EASY POSE, with our spines erect, we centre ourselves with LONG DEEP BREATHING. We bring the hands together in PRAYER MUDRA at the heart centre, thumbs resting against the sternum and fingers pointing away from the body at a 60 ° angle. Concentrate on the Brow Point – the area between the eyebrows. Inhale deeply, exhale. Inhale and chant the words as you exhale. Repeat twice.

· We then chant the Heart Protection Mantra:

      

       “Aad Guray Namay, Jugaad Guray Namay,

        Sat Guray Namay, Siri Guru Devay Namay”

This clears away the clouds of doubt and opens us to guidance and protection. It surrounds the magnetic filed with protective light.

2 – Warming Up

  In warming up the spine and stretching before practice we enhance the

  effects of the sets and meditations.

3 – Kriya

  This is a specific combination of yogic postures/asanas, hand

  positions/mudras, breathwork/pranayama, mantra/sound and meditation. 

  Literally a “completed action”

4 – Deep Relaxation

The best position is “CORPSE POSE”:

Lie on your back, with your arms at your sides, palms up, feet hip with apart and eyes closed. This is an extremely important time as it allows for the energies released in the body and mind to circulate and come into equilibrium.

5 – Meditation

You will be guided through a Meditation. It is an ideal time after the “Deep Relaxation” to Meditate, as your state of mind and the frequencies you are emitting and engaging with are ideal.

6 – Concluding the Class

 We close every class by sing/chanting:

“MAY THE LONG TIME SUN SHINE UPON YOU, ALL LOVE SURROUND

 YOU AND THE PURE LIGHT WITHIN YOU, GUIDE YOUR WAY ON”

 REPEAT

This is a positive affirmation and a blessing to all.

· CHANT “LONG SAT NAM” – This mantra means “Truth is my Identity”
