Kundalini Yoga
Kundalini yoga is yet another form of Indian Tantra. Once tantra was practiced only by experienced yogic masters, because of the skill required and the intense nature of the practice. In 1969, Yogi Bhajan decided that Americans needed health and happiness, and so he revealed these sacred, esoteric teachings to the American masses. I’ve yet to try Kundalini, so I’ll quote the Yogi Bhajan directly: “No previous experience in yoga is required for you to achieve results with your very first class. Men of great knowledge actually found out about the chakras – their workings, their petals, their sounds, their infinity, their co-relationship, their powers. They found that the life of a human is totally based on these chakras. This total science gave birth to Kundalini Yoga.”Anusara yoga considers itself to be a tantric practice as well.
