What to expect

“A spiritual energy or life force located at the base of the spine”

Kundalini yoga is a unique, stress-relieving practice, described as a sleeping, dormant potential force in the human organism. A component of the “subtle body”, the Kundalini practice is deemed to awaken the energy and consciousness, coiled in the root chakra at the base of your spine, and ascend to the 7th, enlightened crown chakra...

Chakra? Enlightened? .. what?

If you’re new to Kundalini, or yoga in general, no worries! In layman’s terms, Kundalini is a spiritual practice as much as it is physical, and it is a cherished option from beginners to advanced yogis alike. So, if this is your first time here, you’re in the right place! And, if you’re a returning, die-hard practitioner, welcome back.

Let’s start with the basics. In a typical Kundalini class, there are three parts:

  • An opening chant, or “tuning in”
  • A “kriya”, which is a sequence of postures paired with breathing techniques, and a brief warm-up for your spine
  • A closing meditation with the sound of gong or song

Different kriyas use different breaths, and the most popular breathing technique is “Breath of Fire”. With sealed lips, you take short, quick breathes, in and out of the nose, at the rate of about two to three breathes per second (yes, a bit like a dog panting…). As you breathe, air is expelled in powerful spurts, engaging your core, as well as reducing stress, boosting brain function and improving respiratory health.

Chanting and singing are major components of Kundalini, and while there are endless mantras and songs, most classes start with Adits Mantra, which means - “I bow to the subtle divine wisdom, the divine teacher within.” Another common chant is Sat Nam, which means - “I am truth.”

Kundalini classes are meditation-heavy. Each set has different poses that involve movement, breathing techniques, mindfulness and a mantra. Between postures, you have a minute or two to relax, reflect, focus inward, and after the entire set, relaxation is followed by meditation, and a closing mantra to take with you.

According to research, Kundalini yoga can impact cognitive function, boosting both concentration and memory, and the Alzheimer’s Research and Prevention foundation even recommended a Kundalini kriya for improvement of memory retention. It is no surprise the practice’s seen a meteoric rise, and we’re here for it!

One last question… why do the Kundalini yogis where white? The color white is thought to ward off negative energy and extend your own aura. You do not have to wear head-to-toe white, but you’ll see it’s quite common! Teachers often wear a white head covering, such as a hat, scarf or turban to contain the energy in the body.

So… what do you think? Kundalini can be a bit odd at first, we know. But, we love it. Given a chance, we think you will, too.

 Join us for this beautiful monthly gathering where we come together in a ceremonial setting to drop in deeply with ourselves and one another and experience song and sound as a prayer. We'll spend an hour singing together, connecting to our hearts through our voices with powerful prayers in the form of chants and sacred songs. We then move into a multi-vibrational soundscape with crystal bowls, chimes, gongs, vocal sounding, and percussive texture. Here you are invited to recline and go deeper into your own experience. About the group, SparrowSparrow is a multi-instrumental band in devotion to love, connection, community, and expansion through the creation of song and sound as a prayer offering.

5 star rating Krista M. 5 star review for Flow Yoga Westgate April 2, 2025

I can't believe I've lived in Austin for so long without discovering Flow Yoga. I love this studio, the staff, the instructors, the clients. Everyone I've come into contact with have been open, warm and welcoming. The Ra studio is light, airy and large. I like the built in stage and when the instructor uses it, it helps that everyone in the class can see them. I like that the instructors can be hands on as being manipulated into the correct postures is a key to understanding and practicing to your best ability. I would highly recommend anyone to give this wonderfully inclusive, spiritual studio a try. I'm also excited to be taking my first teacher training class here with Angie. I've been waiting for years to find the right course. I hope its everything I have been waiting for.

5 star rating Sasha P. 5 star review for Flow Yoga Westgate April 1, 2025

Great range of classes and the events on the weekend makes this studio different from others and help foster community. The space inside is very beautiful and smells nice. It’s affordable and I even found a great masseuse who works from a beautiful room there. They always have mats to borrow for free if you forget yours. Sometimes there are some technical glitches on the mindbody app where it won’t allow you to sign up for weekend or one-time events, but if you come to the studio you can sign in easily there.
