Jeanne
Martin has been practicing yoga since she was a teenager. She discovered
Kundalini Yoga a few years ago, and instantly felt uplifted and moved to
take her practice to a deeper level. She studied with Deva Kaur, who studied
for many years with Yogi Bhajan, and she is now certified by the International
Kundalini Yoga Teacher’s Association (IKYTA) to teach Kundalini Yoga as
taught by Yogi Bhajan.
Kundalini Yoga is a dynamic
form of yoga that combines breath, movement, meditation, rhythmic sound
and deep relaxation. It works to release tension and energize in a short
period of time, regardless of your degree of flexibility or experience.
Kundalini yoga classes begin with a time for centering and the mantra "Ong
Namo, Guru Dev Namo", which means "I call upon my own inner guidance, the
teacher within me". |
