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.

I have been very pleased to reconnect with my yoga practice through Flow Yoga. The variety of classes and instructors that are available make it very accommodating to find just what I need. Although I am limited in my abilities, no one makes me feel like I don’t belong! If there were anything I would like to see different, it would be for them to replace the bolsters with new ones. I’m very grateful to have this wonderful studio available to me!

5 star rating Lana R. 5 star review for Flow Yoga Westgate January 5, 2025

Flow Yoga is an amazing yoga resource for people in Austin, and I love the Westgate studio the most. It's a great location with a lot of variety of classes to choose from. The instructors are all skilled and engaging, and it feels like an intimate experience every class. As someone who only did vinyasa before joining Flow, I've loved learning Hatha, flexibility + mobility and more - there is something for everyone here!

5 star rating Rachel N. 5 star review for Flow Yoga Westgate January 2, 2025

This place is amazing and so value to my personal practice and life. I appreciate the range of intensity they have for their classes as well as the range of type of classes from yoga to meditation to sound baths across all their studios. And their studios are an incredible vibe. I love spending time in their lounge drinking the chai they always have available. This place has become a second home to me and I enjoy it so much.
