Yoga Classes
Classes are open to all levels of experience.
Each Kundalini class focuses on strengthening the nervous system and glandular system, working with pranayama (breathing techniques) to bring balance, stress reduction, and overall peace of mind. Each class provides an experience for students to gain a deeper experience of themselves and their yoga practice.
What to bring
Wear comfortable, loose clothing, preferably of natural fibre. Bring a water bottle, a yoga mat and/or sheepskin, something to cover yourself during deep relaxation.
Avoid eating just before coming to a yoga class. Ideally eat 2 to 2.5 hours before, so your body has time to digest the food before your practice

Your Life in Your Upper Chakras
Thursdays | Oct 24 – Nov 28 | 7:15-8:45pm (no class Oct 31)
Our upper chakras are our connection to the subtle realms, where we no longer identify with “Me”, instead with “We”. The 5th, 6th, 7th chakras and Aura support you in your relationship with your higher self, your soul and divine wisdom.
The upper chakras elevate you to speak your truth, follow Divine will, be guided by intuition to live your purpose, and trust in the flow of life and the Universe. When imbalanced, you may lack clarity and direction, experience self-doubt, and the inability to speak your truth.
Deepen your understanding and relationship to the upper chakras or energy centers by bringing them into balance during this 5-week Kundalini Yoga series.
The chakras affect our perceptions, feelings and choices. They affect the flow and types of thoughts we have, and the energies we can gather to act upon them, and manifest our thoughts. They affect the relationship between the conscious and subconscious.

Morning Sadhana - Cleaning the Subconscious
Sadhana means daily spiritual practice. It is a discipline of the mind and body to serve the soul. It is a time each day to notice the patterns that lead away from higher consciousness and to transcend those patterns.
The 108 yogic scriptures called the Kundalini Upanishads, call for at least two-and-a-half hours of sadhana before the rising of the sun. The duration of two-and-a-half hours is determined by the law of karma: everything you give, you receive back tenfold. So if you dedicate one-tenth of each day to your higher consciousness, your whole day is covered by the returning energy.
To exercise before sunrise is important because the angle of the sun to the earth is very good for meditation. Also there is much prana in these hours, and the body rhythms are more set to support physical cleansing than during the rest of the day. It is also the time we go into ‘dreaming’ when sleeping. By waking up before this dream state, we can consciously clear the subconscious, rather than it playing out in dreams, filled with emotion and story.
At this time of the day few people are awake and busy, so the clutter and bustle of daily activities does not interfere with your practice.

Siri Hari Kaur has been a wonderful Kundalini Yoga instructor. Her classes are always motivating, inspiring and challenging and I look forward to them every week. She also has encouraged me on a personal level and supported me to practice Kundalini in my own space. I even used the breathing techniques and strategies on my recent wedding day and it definitely allowed me to enjoy my day with grace and ease. I will continue to explore and practice Kundalini yoga for the rest of my life. Sat Nam.
