Angles & triangles

“Kundalini yoga is the science of angles and triangles.” Every angle we hold our body in has a corresponding energetic effect because the muscles are putting pressure on specific parts of the body. For example, lifting the legs 30 degrees works on the Navel point; lifting the arms 60 degrees works on the heart and lungs. The effect also has to do with the ability of different shapes and forms to concentrate the life force.

Strengthening the nervous system

We know that nerves constantly grow and change both in their density of connection and the sophistication of the patterns with which they interconnect. Yoga engages the nerves and makes them function better.

Stretching and building muscles

Any muscle that is not used regularly, even if it is only over a period of a few days, atrophy. Muscle atrophy is visible in the stooped and narrow shoulders of older people who have stopped exercising. Kundalini yoga is an incredibly complete form of exercise for the muscles to maintain the strength and flexibility of the body.

Stimulating circulation

Due to increased heart rate and the internal massage of tissues and organs, kundalini yoga increases the circulation of blood, lymph and other body fluids.

Endocrine glands, the guardians of your heath, have no muscles to get their products into the blood. Yoga massage them, empties them, keeps them vital and helps them to communicate with each other. Many of the yoga exercises adjust the functioning of the endocrine glands by stimulating the primary base of the brain ( the hypothalamus), through rhythmical breathing and through the effect of sound and mantra.

Muscles as energy catalysts

There is a connection between the muscles and the meridians or nadis. If a muscle is strong, the meridian connected to it will be healthy energetically and vice versa. that’s why specific meridians and organs are influenced by training specific muscles.

Kundalini Yoga as lifestyle

Yoga is not just exercises. We can find opportunities to recommend daily healthy practices-rising early, taking a cold shower, wearing light-colored clothing and trying other aspects of yogic lifestyle. A vegetarian diet alone reduces the risk of chronic diseases. A yogic lifestyle offers support to refrain from toxic habits such as smoking, drinking and taking drugs.
