According to many Yogic cultures, Kundalini<\/strong><\/a> is the cosmic energy<\/strong> that rests at the base of our spine. Those who follow this philosophy believe that this energy is coiled like a snake and can be awakened and controlled, giving whoever is able to do it an amazing understanding<\/strong> of life and an enormous spiritual and energetic power<\/strong>. Nevertheless, to achieve that state of the so-called Illumination<\/strong>, the seekers need to prepare their body, heart, and mind \u2013 purifying them, strengthening them and taking them to its full potential. Thus, the objective of Kundalini yoga<\/strong> is to awaken that energy and prepare its students for that moment, using asanas<\/strong> (body postures), pranayama<\/strong> (breathing exercises), bandhas<\/strong><\/a> (muscular contractions), kriyas<\/strong> (body cleansing), mudras<\/strong><\/span> (hand positions) and mantras<\/strong> (Sanscrit songs). These techniques will balance the energy<\/strong>\u00a0of the\u00a0human body and use it in one’s favor.<\/p>\n

For those of you who do not seek mere physical exercise, Kundalini yoga<\/strong> is a good opportunity to find more than just body postures. This yoga<\/strong> style will shape your body, make you lose weight<\/a> and reduce the stress<\/a> of your daily life. On top of that, it will also raise your awareness and boost your energy. So, if you live in Eixample<\/strong><\/a> and are curious about Kundalini Yoga<\/strong>, keep reading and find out where to practice it in this part of the city.<\/p>\n
