SCOTT SOLLER: Hi, my name is Scott Soller, yoga instructor, here on behalf of Expert
Village. Kundalini Yoga is the yoga of awareness, and what we do in this practice is make sure
to take a very meditative approach to the postures and resting between the poses. So
it's that cultivation of awareness that is really key to our practice. Serpent Kundalini
is said to metaphorically reside at the base of the spine, coiled three and a half times
around the root chakra. What we do is we progressively awaken that serpent, very gently, so that
it rises up through the chakra system, piercing the veils and the obscurations toward greater
contexts and roles, and make sure that in this practice that you modify the poses accordingly,
that you feel comfortable in the postures. You can always drop back to a comfortable
and relaxed breathing. Make sure that you don't overdo, and in this way, you will progress
comfortably and safely. Make sure that in this practice, too, that we're not going to
shoot out through the crowd. We're going to integrate the practice with the heart and
integrate the chakras with the heart. That will be our goal.
