Participants awakening Kundalini energy in Rishikesh retreat at Adishesh Yoga

What Is Kundalini Yoga?

Kundalini Yoga is a spiritual discipline rooted in Hindu and Tantric traditions, aimed at awakening the dormant energy ("Kundalini") at the base of the spine and guiding it upward through the seven chakras to the crown for spiritual enlightenment (samadhi). Brought into Western awareness by Yogi Bhajan in the late 1960s, it uses a combination of mantras, breathwork, body postures, and meditation.

Understanding Kundalini

Kundalini is a sacred and powerful spiritual energy—your vital potential. Worshipped as divine Shakti, it lies coiled at the base of the spine. Kundalini Yoga seeks to convert this latent potential energy into kinetic energy, guiding it upward through the chakras to foster peace, bliss, and deep meditation .

Guidance & Integration for Kundalini Practice

"Do not rush." Kundalini awakening unfolds subtly and gradually. Traditional guidance emphasizes nurturing energy gradually—e.g. through gentle kriyas, meditation, and breath work, practiced with full presence.

Seek Qualified, Experienced Guidance

In Siddhayoga and similar yogic lineages, the guru-disciple relationship is central—gurus guide safe Shaktipat awakenings and help interpret subtle energy shifts. Always check that your teacher has credible experience.

Understand & Respect the Progression of Levels

Advance step-by-step: from discovery → awakening → balance → Kundalini activation. Each stage builds a foundation for the next. This gradual progression is mirrored in Kundalini Yoga guidance—for example, stamina & spinal opening before intensive practices .

Icon for self-observation and energy integration in Kundalini

Continue Self-Observation & Integration

Between and after practices, pause to sense energetic shifts in the spine and bodies. Follow each kriya with relaxation and silent reflection to integrate subtle experiences -  Track physical sensations, emotional upticks, dreams, clarity—noticing gradual harmonization.

Icon for maintaining connection with Kundalini guides

Maintain On-going Connection with Guides

Regular check-ins with mentors helps integrate subtle awakenings, prevent imbalances, and receive personalized adjustments. This ongoing transmission and guidance ensure safe navigation of energy shifts.

Conclusion: A traditional Kundalini path—echoed in both Yogic and Siddhayoga traditions—combines consistent daily practice, experienced guidance, careful observation, and gradual progression. This ensures not only powerful inner transformation but also safe and stable integration into daily life.
