What is Kundalini Yoga?

Kundalini Yoga is a yoga practice that combines mantras, kriyas, and meditations that have been around for a very long time. It was originally practiced by people in India, but spread throughout the rest of the world in the 1960’s. We honor, celebrate, and respect the origins of this ancient practice here at AFA.

Kundalini Yoga holds poses in kriyas for quite sometime, as it is a spiritual practice of moving energy up the spine and throughout the body. “According to Tantra, kundalini energy rests like a coiled serpent at the base of the spine. When this dormant energy flows freely upward through the seven chakras (energy centers) and leads to an expanded state of consciousness, it's known as a kundalini awakening,” - per the Yoga Journal.

We also take the time to honor ourselves in the practice of Kundalini here at AFA, as well. If you have disabilities, injuries, etc, AFA can work with you, if this is something you are interested in pursuing.

What to expect in a Kundalini Class?

Well, you can expect to be chanting mantras (as you learn them and get comfortable with them). Bring water, as you can get thirsty doing kundalini yoga. Bring tissues because with energy movement, it can stir up emotions like sadness and anger that we need to be prepared for. Please do not eat too heavy of a meal at least 1 hour prior to attending class. It is not good for energy or body movement. After class is over, you might have many things coming through that you may need to deal with on emotional, spiritual, mental, and/or physical levels. AFA is here to hold space for you in anyway we can.

What is Kundalini Rebirthing?

“The idea of rebirthing is to release the subconscious, the storehouse of misery. There is a vast collection of these unique techniques in the tradition of Kundalini Yoga. It gives you a powerful tool to heal the pain and overcome the obstacles which keep you from living your best – so you can be life-awakened, rejuvenated, and present to your true purpose,” says the Kundalini Research Institute.

Chrissy has taken the necessary facilitator training to take students through this process from a trauma-informed prospective. She will guide you through a specific Kundalini class designed to allow to you to transform yourself from within. This class can be intense because we are dealing with personal held traumas. This class is a very specific container that she asks you to participate in and not only hold space for yourself, but other participants in the class, as well. If you are ready to take this step in your healing journey, this class is offered only once a quarter (Aug/Nov/Feb/May).

What is a Goddess Kundalini Class?

This is a specific Kundalini class that Chrissy created in 2022 and she is excited to announce that she is going to offer it once a quarter (Sep/Dec/Mar/Jun). It will tie into the Solstices and Equinoxes, which hold great significance to pagans and anyone excited by the transitions of the seasons. This class holds specific kriyas, mantras, and meditations in relation to finding your inner goddess and allowing her to flow within and without. We will be celebrating and exploring the divine feminine energies that are present. She is happy to facilitate this specific class to any gender, as we all have masculine and feminine energies that coexist in ourselves.

What are my options for doing Kundalini with AFA?

This is for a bi-weekly one hour class, an one hour Rebirthing class, or an one hour session for Goddess class. You will have a follow-up email that includes the date and time with consent forms, mantras needed to participate, and a Zoom call link.
