Kundalini Yoga & Yoga Therapy

01/05/2025

Sunday, January 5th, and for the next 10 Sundays, we begin 2025 reviewing our Ten Human Bodies. You may think you only have one body to care for, but in fact, we have ten: the soul, the negative, positive and neutral mind, the physical body, the arcline, aura, pranic, subtle and radiant bodies. Through numerology you will discover your soul’s identity, your homework assignment in this life, your God-given talent, your archival body of wisdom and the key to living a fulfilled life by understanding why you are here on this planet at this time. This knowledge will allow you to tune into the voice of the soul and gain insight on how to fulfill the purpose of your life.

“If you understand that you are Ten Bodies, and you keep them in balance, the whole Universe will be in balance with you.” –YB

Kundalini Yoga is an uplifting blend of movement, dynamic breathing techniques, meditation and the chanting of mantras in order to build physical vitality and increase consciousness. It is a powerful tool that precisely and consciously harnesses the mental, physical and nervous energies of the body in order to balance, strengthen, and purify the body, the mind and the spirit. It gives us the skills to cope with the challenges of our times while building fortitude and experiencing our own excellence. Each Kundalini Yoga is constructed upon seven fundamental building blocks. While these core elements are present in various yogic practices, in this 8 week workshop we will delve into their distinct significance within the framework of Kundalini Yoga.

As we review the growing evidence for the efficacy of therapeutic yoga for cancer care, we can appreciate the enormous potential that it has.

Cancer patients and survivors encounter unique challenges to their physical and mental well-being, some of which persist for decades after the initial treatment. Typically, cancer survivors face poor health, disabilities, heightened susceptibility to other illnesses, increased anxiety, and disruptions in daily functioning and family life.
​
Although yoga does not serve as a panacea, compelling evidence suggests that well-crafted interventions can have measurable positive effects on health and healing. Yoga therapy emerges as a potent, cost-effective tool that effectively aids individuals in managing the profound impacts of cancer.

In August of 2022, I embarked on a transformative 24-month Yoga Therapy training program within the Kundalini Yoga tradition. After thorough research into various programs and their curriculums, I chose the Guru Ram Das Center for Medicine and Humanology's offering due to its comprehensive scope and certification by the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT).
​
Throughout this intensive program, I not only acquired invaluable tools rooted in Kundalini Yoga to aid individuals in managing diverse health conditions and empowering them to take more control over their well-being, but I also embarked on a profound journey of personal growth and transformation. This journey enabled me to cultivate a deeper relationship with both myself and the world around me.
​
The curriculum of the training delved deeply into the therapeutic applications of Kundalini Yoga, equipping me with specialized knowledge and techniques to support individuals in reducing symptoms and fostering holistic healing. I gained a nuanced understanding of how yoga can be tailored to address specific health challenges, including physical ailments, mental health concerns, and emotional imbalances.
​
Moreover, the experiential aspect of the training facilitated my own inner exploration and growth. I discovered new layers of self-awareness and resilience, honing my ability to navigate life's challenges with grace and compassion. This personal evolution has not only enriched my professional practice but has also enhanced my overall well-being and outlook on life.
​
I am filled with gratitude to the Guru Ram Das Center for the profound impact their training has had on my life; the teachers: Shanti Shanti Kaur Khalsa, PhD, C-IAYT; Dr. Hari Kirin Kaur Khalsa, MD, C-IAYT; Atma Jot Kaur Güdel, C-IAYT and Dr. Crystal Frazer, PT, NBCHWC, C-IAYT. They were not only highly knowledgeable but also deeply committed to the students’ growth and understanding and created a supportive learning environment that made the experience both enriching and empowering. And last but not least my heartfelt gratitude to the clients who participated in my training from whom I learned invaluable lessons.

Today, I received my diploma and I am eager to integrate this deepened knowledge and personal experience into my work, continuing to empower individuals on their paths to healing and self-discovery through the transformative power of yoga therapy.

Thank you to Alexis Martin for inviting me to her 2024 Yoga Teacher’s Training to introduce the students to Kundalini Yoga and KY for the Chakra System. Thank you to everyone who wasn’t in the teacher’s training and joined us on Saturday and Sunday. It was my honor to be with you all.

The Chakra System is an ancient method, developed thousands of years ago in India, that has become a common perspective across many schools of yoga. It delineates the subtle, dimensional, circular energies making up the human body. There are seven commonly accepted major chakras, each relating to a physical area of the body, specific body systems, and a particular emotional or energetic capacity of a human being. These chakras start at the base of the spine and ascend from the groin to the navel, heart, throat, third eye, and crown. In Kundalini Yoga, the aura or magnetic field is considered the Eighth Chakra. When energy is moved through breath and yoga poses, one feels more alive and at peace.
