Kundalini yoga

Repetitive movement, breath and sound

Kundalini classes work in kriyas — set sequences of repetitive movement, breathwork, chanting and meditation — rather than the pose-by-pose approach of other styles.

Pace
Repetitive, sometimes rapid
Room
Room temperature
Intensity
Medium, and unusual

What to expect

  • Chanting at the start and end.
  • Long repetitions of one small movement.
  • Strong breathwork, including rapid techniques.
  • A meditation and a deep relaxation to close.

Good to know

  • Rapid breathwork is not suitable in pregnancy or with some heart and blood-pressure conditions — say so beforehand.
  • It feels stranger than other styles on a first visit. Two classes is a fairer test.

Who it suits

People curious about the meditative and energetic side of yoga, and anyone who finds a purely physical class unsatisfying.
