This ancient healing practice combines spirituality, movement, and breathwork to facilitate healing and radiance.
Kriyas:
-
Asana
Asanas are the physical postures or movements that improve flexibility, strength, and muscle tone, enhance balance and posture, and increase energy and vitality. Unlike other yoga styles, asanas in Kundalini are performed in sequences that incorporate the different elements listed here.
-
Mantras
Mantras are powerful sounds and words that are chanted rhythmically. Chanting mantras creates vibrations in the body that clear negative energy and awaken dormant spiritual energy. The repetition helps the subconscious mind create new neural pathways and rewire limiting beliefs.
-
Mudras
Mudras are hand positions that guide the flow of energy in the body and support meditation. Several meridians run through the hands, and mudras create energy circuits for specific purposes. A common one is pressing the thumb and index finger together, called Gyan Mudra.
-
Pranayama
Pranayama refers to the practice of working with the breath to guide your energy and influence the mind. Different breathing techniques are employed—some slow and relaxing, while others are quick and energizing. We use our respiratory system to communicate our intention to the other systems in our body. We can enter a state of rest and digest, reduce stress, increase focus, improve sleep, expand our window of tolerance, and deepen our sense of connection.
-
Bandhas
Bandhas are gentle body locks that help guide and control the flow of energy. There are three main ones: the root lock (at the base of the spine), the diaphragm lock (around the stomach area), and the neck lock (at the throat). Practicing Bandhas helps focus energy, strengthen the body, and support meditation. Practice according to your body’s comfort level.

Drishti
Drishti is a “gaze” or focused point of attention. It’s where you softly direct your eyes during a posture or meditation—sometimes at the tip of the nose, the space between the eyebrows, or gently closed. This focus helps quiet distractions, steady the mind, and deepen concentration. Using a drishti is like giving your mind an anchor, helping you stay present and connected throughout your practice.
