Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Yoga Classes:
Are these classes suitable for beginners or advanced yogis?
Absolutely! My classes cater to individuals of all levels, whether you're a beginner taking your first steps into yoga or an experienced practitioner looking to deepen your practice. Our skilled instructors tailor sessions to accommodate everyone.
Is yoga considered a religious practice?
Yoga is not inherently religious. While it draws inspiration from ancient spiritual traditions, our classes focus on the physical and mental aspects of yoga, making it accessible to individuals of diverse backgrounds and beliefs. It's a holistic practice that promotes well-being without any specific religious affiliations.
HOWEVER, IT CAN HELP YOU BECOME CLOSER TO GOD
Can yoga help in becoming closer to God?
While yoga itself is not a religious activity, many individuals find that the practice offers a profound sense of connection, not necessarily tied to a specific deity. It's a personal journey that can enhance spiritual awareness and provide a path for those seeking a deeper connection with themselves and the world around them.
How does yoga empower individuals?
Yoga is a powerful tool for personal empowerment. By fostering self-awareness, mindfulness, and physical strength, it enables individuals to tap into their inner potential. It's a journey of self-discovery that goes beyond physical exercise, promoting a sense of balance, resilience, and empowerment in everyday life.
Why is yoga considered good physical exercise?
Yoga is an excellent form of physical exercise because it combines strength, flexibility, and balance. The various poses (asanas) engage multiple muscle groups, enhancing overall strength and toning. Additionally, the controlled movements and focus on breath improve flexibility and balance. Regular practice not only contributes to physical fitness but also supports joint health and posture, making it a well-rounded and beneficial exercise for the body.
Mantras I use in my yoga classes
Ong namo guru dev namo (Sanskrit: ॐ नमो गुरु देव् नमो) is an important mantra used often in Kundalini yoga. This mantra means “I bow, or salutations to the divine teacher.” It can also be viewed as meaning, " bow to the teacher within." It is also sometimes called the Adi mantra.
This mantra is usually chanted three times at the beginning of a Kundalini yoga practice or class. Ong namo guru dev namo is considered a high vibration, protective mantra as it is believed to help the yogi to connect with the power and insights of the community of Kundalini yoga students and teachers as a whole. This connection with wider power is referred to by the Kundalini community as the "golden chain."
This mantra is in Sukhmani Sahib, which was written by Guru Arjan Dev Ji. It is a mantra of protection and is recited to invoke the protective energy of the universe. Siri Singh Sahib, Yogi Bhajan taught that this mantra should always be chanted 3 times in a row. This mantra is also chanted directly following the Adi Mantra, when tuning in to a Kundalini Yoga class.

I bow to the Primal Wisdom
I bow to the Wisdom of all the ages
I bow to the True Wisdom
I bow to the Great Invisible Wisdom
When you cannot be protected, this mantra shall protect you. When things stop, and won’t move, this makes them move in your direction.
