Kundalini Yoga is also called laya yoga, and it is a 7 thousand-year-old practice originated in the countries of Tibet, India and Nepal. Its focus is on the release of kundalini, a spiritual energy that is located at the base of your spine.
The process of setting this energy free awakens your chakras (or energy centers), expanding your consciousness when you do it and uniting it with superior cosmic consciousness.

do you know if any of them offer classes in english? i know i’m in spain but i haven’t learned spanish fully yet.
Hello Netero,
You should check the website of the Yoga Class you are interested in and contect them directly with your question.
Many times a website is only in Spanish and/or Catalan, but that doesn't automatically mean classes are not in English.
You can also check out Meet Up.
Best regards,
Daniella
