What Will You Learn?

Often referred to as the "yoga of awareness," Kundalini yoga combines movement, breathwork (Prānayama), sound (mantra), and meditation to activate the flow of energy throughout your body. In this course, you’ll learn about the origins of Kundalini yoga, its core philosophies, and how this practice was brought to the West by Yogi Bhajan.

You’ll also explore the seven chakras, which play a central role in Kundalini energy and are key to unlocking emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing.

Breathwork & Mantra: The Heart of Kundalini

This course introduces you to essential Prānayama techniques, including:

Breath of Fire
Long deep breathing
Alternate nostril breathing

You’ll also be guided through sacred mantras used at the beginning and end of a Kundalini yoga session, learning how to combine chanting with breath and movement to channel and balance your energy.

Master the Foundations: Kriyas, Mudras, Bandhas & Asanas

Kundalini yoga involves a powerful sequence of tools and techniques that create deep, lasting change in the body and mind. You’ll learn how to safely and confidently use:

Mudras (hand gestures that stimulate energy flow)
Bandhas (body locks that control energy)
Asanas (postures that support the movement of energy)
Kriyas (purposeful sets combining breath, posture, sound, and focus to achieve specific outcomes)

Illustrated step-by-step examples of common kriyas and postures are included to help you learn with clarity and ease.

Create a Kundalini Practice That Works for You

We don’t just teach the theory—we help you build a sustainable, joyful practice. You’ll learn:

How to prepare your space and body for practice
What to wear, eat, and avoid for optimal energy flow
How to structure your sessions and follow safety guidelines
The importance of opening and closing each session with intention

You’ll also be introduced to three foundational kriyas, perfect for beginners and experienced yogis alike:

A kriya to get your energy moving
A kriya for spinal energy
The Nabhi kriya to activate and strengthen the navel centre

Deepen Your Practice and Support Your Wellbeing

Once your foundation is set, you’ll explore advanced sequences designed to enhance vitality, support digestion, promote restful sleep, and ease physical discomfort. You’ll also be guided through:

A basic breath series to energise and focus
A powerful meditation for releasing stress
A cleansing chakra sequence using Kundalini postures

This fascinating course is for anyone looking to learn just how powerful Kundalini yoga can be. You must be prepared to read and absorb the information contained within and to carry out the exercises illustrated, to really get the most from the course and to gain a positive start to your journey in Kundalini yoga.

Kundalini yoga is described as the 'yoga of the householder' as, while it does have a spiritual element at its core, it provides practical, down-to-earth tools that everyone can use to become more able to cope with stress, fatigue, addictive or disserving behaviours, and all the other ills of modern life.

The course is also a great aid for practising yogis who are interested in expanding their knowledge and learning something new.
