Kundalini Yoga is an ancient yoga form that
only became popular in the United States in recent decades. It was spiritual
leader and entrepreneur Yogi Bhajan
who introduced Kundalini Yoga to the western world after he founded the 3HO
(Healthy, Happy and Holy Organization).
Kundalini pertains to energy that is
untapped and found at the base of the spine. This untapped energy can be drawn
up through the rest of the body through each of the seven chakras or energy
centers. In Kundalini Yoga, focus is
given to breath and movement. Breathing techniques complement poses to free
energy in the lower body and enable the energy to move upwards. Sequences in
Kundalini Yoga often involve rapid and repetitive movements.
Yogi Bhajan founded 3HO in 1969 and a year
later completed the first teacher’s training in the United States. He also
formed the Kundalini Research Institute in 1971 to formalize the certification
and training of Kundalini teachers internationally. Today, there are major
international centers in various parts of the world including Singapore,
Vancouver, Madrid, Munich, London, Lisbon, Shanghai, Mexico City, Guadalajara
and Cape Town. There are also major schools in North American cities like Los
Angeles, Boston, Washington D.C., New York, Austin, Atlanta, San Francisco and
Phoenix.
Bhajan had many students, but only a few
stood out like Guru Rattana. An
accomplished writer and teacher, Guru Rattana trained with Yogi Bhajan in 1977
and has since been in the forefront of promoting Kundalini Yoga to the public.
Through various methods, including DVDs and
lessons available on Kundalini Yoga superstore Yoga Technology, Guru Rattana
has been educating the public on the many benefits of Kundalini Yoga. Yoga
Technology is among the most trusted online sources for Kundalini Yoga with a
wide range of articles and streaming videos available. It also ships Kundalini
Yoga DVDs from popular personalities like Maya Fiennes.
Guru Rattana has also helped to promote
Kundalini Yoga through her extensive travels. She has been around the world,
teaching many individuals about Kundalini Yoga and its numerous benefits.
Additionally, she is a prolific writer and has authored many books. She also
edits and writes for an electronic magazine to further promote Kundalini Yoga.
With its many benefits especially in
promoting relaxation and good health, Kundalini Yoga is one of the more
well-practiced yoga forms in the world. YogaTech will continue to sustain its efforts by promoting this yoga form
with its DVD and resource collection at yogatech.com.
