Kundalini Yoga & Meditation by Regina
There are many paths that will lead to a sense of physical, mental, and spiritual wholeness and Kundalini Yoga and Meditation offers a range of practical tools that allow you to experience joy and light here and now.
Brought to the West in the late 60s, this form of yoga feels quite different than any other, due to its focus on repetitive, enhanced breathing and the movement of energy through the body.
An all-encompassing practice that includes pranayama, asana, kriya, mantra and meditation, Kundalini is rejuvenating, energising and healing, producing a profound transformation of consciousness, bringing health, wellness and joy. You will emerge feeling utterly serene, refreshed and rejuvenated, with a renewed sense of calm and focus to move effortlessly, standing in your own unique power, which will carry forward into your daily life.
Working directly with the glandular system, Kundalini stimulates brain function and strengthens the immune and nervous systems, serving as a powerful way to help alleviate negativity or anxiety, bringing vitality and peace.
“To bring you from unawareness to awareness is the purpose of Kundalini Yoga. Yoga does nothing more and nothing less.” Yogi Bhajan.
ACTIVE MEDITATION by Swami Nadam
What is Active Meditation?
Active Meditation is the process of mindfully and intentionally creating an action or a series of action to help us bring our focus to the present moment. This can be through movement, sound or breathwork or a combination of these.
Why Active Meditation?
Modern city living demands much from us. We are always on the go. We are juggling multiple things at the same time. Distractions are ever present at every turn. The idea of always moving, always achieving, always getting more has become part of our psyche. Seeking to meditate, to enter into silence, by just sitting still is a challenge for many of us.
Through a series of guided activities, one is slowly eased into a meditative space. This process is especially helpful for busy individuals. Imagine the difference between applying sudden emergency braking vs a smooth gradual easing in of brakes to slow and stop a vehicle if you will. For beginners, this is an excellent introduction to slowing down and for active meditators, this helps take you deeper into silence.
What do I need to do?
Come with a curious mind and an open heart to try. Comfortable clothing that allows for some movement will help you best experience the session but your usual clothing is often sufficient. Chairs can be arranged for you if needed. An empty stomach is recommended as some of the techniques may have rigorous movements.
Why private coaching?
In a 1-1 setting, you will receive fully personalised instruction and guidance that is unique to you. No more generic meditations that you can’t get into, and no more wondering why you just can’t seem to make meditation work. With the support of a coach, you’ll figure out your particular doorways into the meditative state that you can access with ease and without struggle. You’ll also get the chance to ask as many questions as you like, receive support and work through any obstacles that you’re facing.
Private coaching is the best way to get to the heart of meditation, and especially to learn how to craft your own personal meditation practice. Empower yourself to understand how meditation works, what is and isn’t right for you, and how to incorporate it seamlessly into your life.
Breath Coaching by Pat
Breath is the essence of life. It is the most important physiological nutrient that we need to live—we can survive without food and water for days, but without air we will die within minutes.
Each of us has unique, and sometimes dysfunctional, breathing patterns that we have built up and internalised over the course of a lifetime, largely based on how we respond to life experiences. How we breathe has a vast impact on many areas of our life, including our sleep, energy levels, mood and focus, digestive and immune health, physical fitness, and psycho-emotional states of being.
By bringing awareness, understanding and transformation to your breath, you can:
PHYSICALLY
- improve your health, especially if you suffer from respiratory conditions like asthma or allergies
- enhance fitness and physical performance
- sleep better so you feel energised and refreshed on waking
- reduce pain and inflammation and recover faster from injuries
- set yourself up for better-quality functional movement with less pain and injuries
- cultivate better body awareness and explore your embodied self
MENTALLY
- improve your focus, concentration and attention span
- train yourself to shift state from stress to relaxation
- reduce anxiety and panic
- gain a sense of calmness and ease
- create space around your thoughts, especially when you have a whirling or racing mind
EMOTIONALLY
- help yourself process and transform emotions healthily
- cultivate a sense of peace and space even in challenging situations
- be more closely in touch with yourself and your felt responses to the world
- gain confidence in yourself and your ability to handle life
SPIRITUALLY
- connect with the source of your energy, life force, higher power or whatever you call it
- explore altered states of consciousness safely and without the use of substances other than air
- take the next step towards a meditative or inner-oriented practice
- integrate meditative, spiritual or psychedelic experiences on a practical or physical level
- live a life of simplicity and gratitude for being alive
