Xenia Hennington

 

 

Kundalini Yoga at MVP is an all-level class, with no previous experience needed to attend. Kundalini Yoga is an uplifting blend of spiritual and physical practices. It is a mixture of Bhakti Yoga (spiritual devotion and chanting), Raja Yoga (meditation), and Shakti Yoga (the expression of power and energy). Kundalini Yoga incorporates movement, dynamic breathing techniques, mantras, mudras, and meditation. This practice builds physical vitality, encourages using intuition, and increases consciousness. It stands on Patanjali’s kriya yoga pillars, consisting of self-discipline, self-study, and dedication to a Higher Power.
