Karma Yoga
Traditional yoga class given at a reduced rate as a benefit to the community.
Kundalini Yoga
A tantric yoga whose primary aim is the awakening of the Kundalini Energy (dormant at the base of the spine) through the practice of kriyas. Kriyas are sequences of asanas (yoga postures), breath work, mudras (hand positions), bhandas (body locks) and mantra chanting that lead to a predictable result. A kriya usually culminates with the practice of meditation. Kundalini Yoga is called the yoga of Awareness as its practice deepens awareness of the Authentic Inner Self. It’s a very powerful practice that will increase your vitality and self-healing, energize and balance your glandular and nervous system, strengthen the core of your body, while clarifying and uplifting your mind
