Kundalini Yoga is one of the classic yoga schools, also known as Snake King Yoga. Since ancient times, only a very small number of royal aristocrats have had the opportunity to practice and experience it. With the development of the times, Kundalini has gradually unveiled its mystery and spread throughout the world. There is such a passage in the yoga classics: 12 years of Hatha Yoga plus 6 years of Raja Yoga, plus 3 years of Mantra Yoga and 1 year of Laya Yoga is equivalent to practicing one year of Kundalini Yoga. Of course, this statement is a bit exaggerated, but the great value of Kundalini Yoga cannot be denied. Today I will introduce to you 10 Kundalini Yoga poses. Practicing them can help activate the energy center of the third chakra in the human body - the navel chakra, exercise your willpower, and awaken your potential energy. According to Kundalini theory, this asana sequence is better to be practiced in the morning. The asana practice should start with chanting "Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo". It is appropriate to hold each of the following postures for at least 30-60 seconds. 1. Alternating Leg Extension Lie on your back on the mat, relax your arms at your sides, and keep your breathing steady. As you inhale, slowly lift your left leg up to 90 degrees, with your toes pointing toward the ceiling, and hold for a few breaths. As you exhale, lower your left leg and slowly lift your right leg to 90 degrees. If you need extra assistance, place your hands on your hips. Do the above movement alternately between the left and right legs for 3 minutes. After finishing, you will feel your abdomen "on fire". 2. Supine knee-bend stretch Lie on your back with your arms at your sides and breathe steadily. As you inhale, bend your left knee to your chest while placing your right arm above your head. As you exhale, straighten your left knee, relax your left leg, and lower your right arm. As you inhale again, bend your right knee to your chest while placing your left arm over your head; as you exhale, straighten your right knee, relax your right leg, and put your left arm back. Repeat the above steps for 3 minutes, focusing your awareness on your navel. 3. Downward Dog Lie face down on a mat or floor in a four-cornered position. As you inhale, push your toes onto the ground, lift your knees off the ground, stretch your legs, and straighten your arms, keeping your arms and back in line. Lift your sitting bones and tailbone, try to press your heels into the ground, then exhale, lift your hips into an inverted "V" shape, and maintain proper breathing in this position. 4. Cobra pose Lie face down on a mat or floor with your hands on either side of your body, fingers spread apart, and soles of your feet flat on the floor. Support your body with your hands on both sides, and as you inhale, lift your chest, keeping your elbows slightly bent, your chest open, your shoulders relaxed, and your eyes looking forward. Hold for 2 minutes and breathe deeply; this pose helps stretch your spine and open your chest. |
