CINDY MASTRY: Hi. I'm Cindy Mastry and in this clip we're going to discuss the beginner's guide to Kundalini yoga. If yoga is the science of the self, Kundalini is the science of awakening the self, awakening the self to the subtle body energies that lie underneath. Kundalini is said to reside at the base of the spine and the aim of Kundalini yoga is to awaken this energy causing it to rise up the spine and out through the crown chakra to connect with the divine. Kundalini yoga uses the chakra system or energy wheels located on different spots along your spine and they try to open the energy in each of these chakras which allows the crown chakra to open and they then can make your connection with the divine. They use asana postures, mantra, lots of chanting, it's a really great way to awaken yourself and connect with the divine. So again it's awakening the self. You're using the subtle body energies and you use the chakra system to do Kundalini yoga. Namaste.
