Kundalini Yoga: Techniques for Developing Strength, Awareness, and Character

Description

Ease your stress and tension by incorporating Kundalini yoga into your daily routine. Kundalini yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual discipline for developing strength, character, and consciousness. Practitioners of Kundalini call it the yoga of awareness because it enables you to experience deeper levels of being by harmonizing both your body and spiritual energy. Unlike other yoga exercises, Kundalini yoga consists of fewer straining positions, which makes it accessible for a wide range of fitness levels. Incorporate small moments of peace throughout your day by practicing these simple positions and breathing exercises. This guide offers step-by-step instructions on the basics of Kundalini yoga. With over 200 rich full-color photographs, yoga expert Athanasios Megarisiotis shares the seated postures, breathing techniques, hand positions, and most frequently used mantras.
