Kundalini yoga is different from other types of yoga commonly practiced in the West, in that it is less focused on postures and more geared towards self-awareness, meditation, mantra chanting and breathing. Kundalini yoga is therefore a set of powerful techniques that allows us to focus and fully enjoy our being, our soul and our environment.
Thus, these techniques make it possible to:
deepen breathing;
become aware of the meridians and energy centers in the body (the chakras);
strengthen the nervous system;
purify the blood flow.
The ultimate goal of this tool is to balance the sensations of the physical body with the mind and soul.
While Kundalini yoga remains a spiritual practice, it has no religious appeal and can be applied by everyone, with adaptations for some people. It is particularly suitable for a public having and facing psychological difficulties (anxiety and trauma).
Typically, a Kundalini session lasts 1.5 hours. It is divided into 5 parts:
- chanting of the opening mantras
- warm-up with a sequence of postures with breathing exercises
- sequence of kundalini (kriya) which generally focus on a specific theme
- relaxation
- meditation (accompanied by mantra or / and breathing and concentration exercises)
In addition, “Vinyasa” simply means “sequence of postures”. This type of yoga is based on Hatha yoga, which means the physical side of yogic philosophy. Indeed, the goal of yoga practice is to enter a state of meditation, which is facilitated by focusing on the body at first.
In the West, since the spread of yoga at the beginning of the 20th century, Hatha yoga has mainly spread. Vinyasa uses the basic postures performed in Hatha yoga, chaining them together to enter into a kind of "dance", "flow".
On a physical level, this type of yoga:
strengthens the heart rate;
works all the muscles of the body;
improves posture by strengthening the spine.
On a more subtle level, Vinyasa allows you to:
stimulate the 7 main chakras, starting from the base to go up to the crown;
release the energies produced by the body during the session;
release a general feeling of well-being by gently stretching the muscles.
A Vinyasa session lasts approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. It can be divided into 3 parts:
- stretches to gently open and warm the body;
- sequence of postures (declined by sun salutations, starting with anchoring postures to gently raise the spine);
- relaxation to channel the work of the muscles.
