GLOBAL
YOGA
Kundalini Yoga is an ancient yogic discipline rooted in spiritual awareness and the exploration of the powerful potential within. While some yoga practices focus primarily on the physical body, Kundalini invites a deeper connection to mind, body and energy.
ANCIENT WISDOM.
MODERN RELEVANCE.
Kundalini Global, created by Carolyn Cowan, is a contemporary evolution of the practice. It steps away from the Kundalini Yoga lineage taught by Yogi Bhajan, removing the concept of a 'guru' and offering a more radically inclusive approach. The practice welcomes all religious beliefs, physical abilities, body sizes, gender identities, ethnicities and ages.
A PRACTICE THAT MEETS YOU WHERE YOU ARE
A key focus in a KG class is the central nervous system and stimulation of the vagus nerve ~ the powerful connection between brain and body. Through breath, posture and fascia release, we encourage circulation, support the endocrine and immune systems and release natural endorphins, serotonin, oxytocin and dopamine. This helps calm the nervous system, shift us out of fight-or-flight and into the parasympathetic state ~ a place of quiet, balance and stillness.
Awaken the inner current
We practise postures and kriyas combined with breath, mudra, bandha, meditation and mantra, working with the body’s energy to increase circulation, support neuroplasticity and help us thrive at our highest potential.
Our yoga mat becomes our safe haven where we commit to our practice and learn how to navigate tricky times. It's where we begin to understand how to hack into the stress system, learning how to regulate ourselves. Which naturally raises our energetic vibration.
Many people turn to yoga as a powerful release for stress, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, self-harm, addiction, and traumatic or upsetting experiences in life.
Sometimes we carry baggage with us from our childhood or family history. This baggage can be held as what we call 'contracts' deep within our physical body and often held as shame. Contracts can change the way the brain copes with stress by triggering us. When we’re dealing with the ‘pain of the past’ and the 'fear of the future’ we’re often repeating what has gone on before us. Hence we call it our ‘history’.
OUR MOTTO
Breathe, Posture, Intention = Transformation
How Kundalini yoga supports You
In class with me, we’ll begin to gently shift unhelpful patterns and negative cycles weaving movement and breath with sound. If you’re feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed or simply worn out by everyday life, I will guide you towards stillness and a more balanced state of mind~cultivating a deep sense of safety and ease.
