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.

It has been years since the last time I walked into a studio. Flow Yoga Georgetown was the perfect "welcome back to the practice" studio. Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and awesome. The location is so unassuming, tucked away in a strip mall. However, you feel you are in a big city studio once inside. Love this place and the people!

Just started going to this studio and absolutely fell in love. I love the diversity in class styles and variety of the flows I've been to. I also love a hands on assist! Everyone is warm and welcoming and much more of that cozy yoga community than some of the popular heated studios I had been going to around austin!

Absolutely love their yoga sessions! They’re so unique compared to other yoga classes I’ve taken. Very beginner friendly but will also offer more advanced moves if desired. Really helped me destress from college classes and is totally worth the price with unlimited classes. Their classes vary on times all throughout the day and are very flexible with my schedule.

I've loved each class so far. There is a variety of class types and the schedule allows for early morning or late evening which is great for my schedule.

I have been coming here for about six months, off and on, but consistent on Fridays at 9 with Selena. I was skeptical at first, since it was a level 3 class and to be honest, I'm like a brick and not that flexible. I met her and she assured me that it was challenging but I would be okay. As a hardcore weightlifter, I have been doing yoga off and on for fifteen years and I can honestly say that Selena is one of the best instructors I have ever had. First of all, she really pushes me to new limits. Nothing scary, just that extra push we all need at times. Second, my arms are 16 inches around and there is no way in hell I can cross my elbows. I asked her about this (because she loves feedback), and the next week she told me she met with a friend at Stretchzone and he told her somethings I could do to get more flexibility. Now, before class starts she usually talks to me and tells me what poses will be done and gives me a variation on how I can do them. You really just don't get that level of service at most places. I'm not a Yogi, or whatever, I am Selena's student and I really appreciate how much her classes have helped when I am in the gym with strength and opening up my range of motion, which has pushed my strength to new limits. Don't be afraid to take her class, be excited. You will not regret it.
