A typical class

A class starts with tuning in with the Adi Mantra, followed by pranayama or warm-up, kriya (specific set of exercises which can be simple practices or vigorous exercises), relaxation, meditation and closing mantra.

It is recommended that you do not eat a large meal for at least one and a half hours before class.  Stimulants (caffeine, alcohol, drugs – unless prescribed by a doctor) should be avoided immediately after class.

What to wear and bring to a class

Traditionally, loose fitting, white or cream clothes in natural fibres (cotton, linen, wool or silk) are worn as these allow prana (energy) to flow freely.  The colour white, contains all the colours of the light spectrum so supports and enhances your chakra (energy centres).

It is also usual to cover the head during practice to retain the energy generated within the body and also helps to provide focus at the third eye point (ajna/brow chakra).

Often a sheepskin is used to practice yoga on as it provides insulation from the ground however a wool or cotton rug/blanket can also be used.  An alternative is to use a regular yoga mat.

It is also useful to have a blanket for the relaxation at the end of the class


Kundalini Yoga Workshops

Kundalini Yoga Workshops every 6 weeks at Barrowby Memorial Hall, 10a High Road, Barrowby, nr Grantham NG32 1BH. On Sunday afternoons from 1 - 4pm

Each workshop will involve kriya, meditation, mantra and pranayama. The are set 6 weeks apart to allow anyone who wishes to undertake a 40 day kriya the opportunity to do so however it is not essential to do this to take part in the workshops.

Drinks will be provided at break time - it is recommended that you have a bottle of water with you during the practice.

In the Kundalini tradition, practitioners wear white, natural fibres (cotton, linen, silk) during yoga practice as this aids the flow of energy, please feel free to join in with a t-shirt and/or leggings if you have them.

Kundalini Yoga is a very powerful practice and as such, it is recommended that you do not consume alcohol, caffeine or non-prescription drugs prior to, or immediately after the sessions.

What is Kundalini Yoga?

In 2005, Dawn first experienced the power of Kundalini Yoga at British Wheel of Yoga Congress after attending classes with Guru Ram Kaur.  She went on to study with the Sahej Academy as a Kundalini Yoga Teacher and during that time took the spiritual name of Atamjeet. Kundalini is a system of yoga that was brought to the West in 1969 by Yogi Bhajan.  It’s focus is to awaken each individual’s potential and expand their consciousness to enable them to achieve personal growth and healing

It uses techniques which may include a pattern of movements, sound, pranayama, mudras, concentration and/or meditation to guide the body’s energies to stimulate a specific result or shift in consciousness and to balance the subtle system of chakra and meridians within the body.
