Frequently Asked Questions

Can we teach mantras and yoga from other yoga traditions in Kundalini Yoga classes?

IKYTA Web Shell - FAQ
Yogi Bhajan: There is no need for mixing things. Every religion and every sect has their own books and techniques but as far as Kundalini Yoga, keep it pure. Its strength is in its purity. It is a weakness to try to please every person. It is a strength to keep the teachings pure to please our own consciousness that we served it well.

Why do we chant mantras in Kundalini Yoga?

HappyYogi.net provided by Bravenet.com
Chanting mantras, either silently or laud, is a conscious method of controlling and directing the mind. Happiness, sorrow, joy, and regret are vibratory frequencies of the mind. We are creating with every word we speak, with every word we think. When we chant a mantra we are choosing to invoke the positive power contained in these particular syllables.

Why do we recite mantras in Kundalini Yoga?

Frequently Asked Questions
When you recite a mantra you have impact through it's meaning, through its pattern of energy, through its time, and through the meridian points it pressurizes in the mouth. When recited correctly, a mantra will activate areas of the nervous system and brain and allow you to shift your state and the perceptual vision or energetic ability associated with it.

What distinguishes Iyengar Yoga from other traditions?

Frequently Asked Questions about Yoga
Iyengar Yoga is characterized by an emphasis on precision of alignment in the yoga postures, the use of props to help students of all ability levels achieve correct alignment, and an understanding of the therapeutic potential of yoga. We begin with the body: muscles, bones, and breath. Through asanas (postures), we explore the work of art that is this gift we receive at birth. Mr. Iyengar calls the body a temple, and asanas our prayers.

Can you teach me about Indian customs and traditions?

Frequently Asked Tipi Questions (FAQ)
There are many who claim to be experts on the customs and traditions of the Native Americans. We are not among them. We do claim to make a completely authentic Sioux/Cheyenne tipi of exceptional quality. When we made the tipis for the movie Windwalker, we learned that there is very little "documented" information to verify exactly the traditions of different Indian Nations.

Is there anytime one would teach a Kundalini Yoga class and NOT tune in with Ong Namo aloud?

IKYTA Web Shell - FAQ
Yogi Bhajan: Is there anytime when a pipe is not fitted with the gas tank and you can fill the car? This mantra is for tuning the flow of personal energy with universal energy. That's a fact. Do it with the group to tune them in too. Kundalini Yoga kriyas should be taught strictly as Yogi Bhajan, the Master of Kundalini Yoga, taught them.
Related Questions

Is it true that only certain music should be used for Kundalini Yoga classes?

IKYTA Web Shell - FAQ
Yogi Bhajan told us that music can be used throughout the class when appropriate, and/or during the relaxation and meditation, but only music with the naad -- that is, Kundalini Yoga mantras, not New Age or any other type of music. In a pinch, if Kundalini Yoga music is not available, he said that classical music is acceptable. Kundalini Yoga is to create inner energy, not provoke outer energy. Music must be within a certain rhythm.

I AM A HATHA/ASTANGA/IYENGAR YOGA TEACHER. WHY SHOULD I STUDY KUNDALINI YOGA?

Kundalini Rising School - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The different forms of Hatha offer an important foundation, preparing the body to hold higher frequencies of energies. Hatha, Astanga, Iyengar and other yogas that concentrate on postures work on detoxing the physical body and confronting the ego. Kundalini yoga offers the next level of integration. Because it includes a vigorous physical workout, pranayama, mantras, meditation and Bhakti, it takes the practitioner to a deeper level of awareness and connection with Self.

Kundalini Yoga is often called The Yoga of Awareness. It works on many levels: physical, mental and spiritual. The physical experience of Kundalini Yoga can be profound and immediate. As your body becomes increasingly aware of itself, your mind begins the interplay of motion and thought. Most practitioners of Kundalini Yoga will attest to its spiritual nature, however, it is not a religion. You can think of it more as an ancient science—we will often call it a technology.

What style of yoga do you teach at PRANANDA?

PRANANDA - Frequently Asked Questions
The best way to describe the style of yoga I teach is eclectic Hatha with a strong emphasis on the breath. It's fun and wonderful to be able to contort your body into different positions but its just contortions without the power, magic and prana (life force) of the breath. It is an HONOR for me to be a yoga instructor. I believe it is my job to guide and assist a student and not dictate. You are your own best teacher. You have lived and used your body your entire life.

Yoga Phoenix
No. Kundalini Yoga (and yoga in general) is a technology for health and consciousness that predates religion. It is practiced by people of all faiths. Our teachers represent many paths including Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, Sikh, and others. Teachers who visually exemplify a religious path (such as Sikh teachers who wear turbans as part of daily attire) do so because of their personal beliefs.
