WHAT IS KUNDALINI YOGA?
IT IS "THE YOGA OF AWARENESS". IT OPENS YOUR HEART, BUILDS STRENGTH AND RELEASES THE ENERGY LOCATED AT THE BASE OF YOUR SPINE. EACH TEACHER WILL BRING THEIR OWN EXPERIENCE TO THE PRACTICE BUT KUNDALINI IS WITHOUT A DOUBT ONE OF THE MORE SPIRITUAL STYLES OF YOGA. KUNDALINI YOGA FOCUSES ON BREATH AND MOVEMENT AND CHALLENGES ITS STUDENTS BOTH PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY.
KUNDALINI YOGA IS FOR EVERY BODY :)
KUNDALINI MEANS "COILED" AND IS REPRESENTED BY A METAPHORICAL COILED SNAKE AT THE BASE OF YOUR SPINE. THE PURPOSE OF KUNDALINI PRACTICE IS TO UNCOIL YOUR SNAKE AND RELEASE THAT ENERGY WITHIN. TRADITIONALLY, WE DO MOST OF THE CLASS WITH OUR EYES CLOSED, SUPPORTING "GOING WITHIN", TAKING THE TIME TO CHECK IN WITH OUR TRUE SELVES .... GIVING US A SPACE TO NOT WORRY ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING OUTSIDE OF OURSELVES. HEALTH, STRENGTH, FITNESS AND OVERALL HAPPINESS BENEFITS ARE INCLUDED.
KUNDALINI IS MUCH DIFFERENT THAN OTHER FORMS OF 'STEREOTYPICAL' YOGA . EXPECT TO DANCE, JUMP, HOLD LONG POSES, AND BREATHE DEEPLY AND REPEATEDLY – NO TWO CLASSES ARE THE SAME (ALL UNIQUE)! IT IS GREAT FOR BEGINNERS/BODY TYPES/FITNESS LEVELS AS IT HAS THE FLEXIBILITY TO PUSH PAST YOUR COMFORT ZONE AS WELL AS OFFERING THE ABILITY TO GO AT YOUR OWN PACE OR MODIFY TO YOUR NEEDS/CAPABILITIES. KUNDALINI YOGA GIVES US TOOLS TO CHALLENGE AND WORK ON OUR OUR NERVOUS SYSTEMS… FOR EXAMPLE: THE PARASYMPATHETIC NS IS STRESSED OUT INTENTIONALLY IN A KY CLASS DURING THE ASANA (YOGA POSE) TO ALLOW THE SYMPATHETIC NS TO BALANCE THAT ENERGY/ TO BRING YOUR BODY AND EGO BACK TO “PAUSE”, “SHUNIYA”, “0”, BALANCE, REST . GIVING YOU THE TOOLS TO DO THIS IS REAL LIFE WITH OUR DAY TO DAY STRUGGLES…KNOWING HOWEVER STRESSFUL OR BAD THINGS MIGHT FEEL AT THE TIME…IT WILL END, IT WILL COME BACK TO BALANCE, IT WILL SERVE TO SHOW HOW STRONG WE REALLY ARE…DO REMOVE THE EGO FORM THE SITUATION AND JUST ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE. EVERYTHING WE DO IN OUR YOGA CLASS (BREATH WORK/PRANAYAM, WARM UP, STRETCHES, YOGA POSTURES/ASANAS AND RELAXATION) IS TO PREPARE US, OUR MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT FOR MEDITATION.
KUNDALINI YOGA VARIES FROM PRACTICE TO PRACTICE. ALL CLASSES WILL BEGIN WITH AN OPENING CHANT AND EXPECT TO FINISH WITH DEEP MEDITATION, A CLOSING CHANT AND A SONG. EXPECT TO FOCUS ON YOUR BREATH (SPECIFICALLY "BREATH OF FIRE", WHERE AIR IS SUCKED IN AND OUT RHYTHMICALLY), TO MOVE, FACE, RELEASE, AND LET GO. KUNDALINI HAS THE POWER TO UNLEASH AND UNLOCK BARRIERS WITHIN OURSELVES THAT IS SUPREMELY JOYFUL AND SERENE.
EACH WEEK WE WILL BE GIVEN THE GIFT OF KY WITH TOOLS WE RECEIVE THROUGH OUR BREATH WORK, MOVING OUR BODIES IN YOGA, AND MEDITATION. THIS YOGA IS FOR ALL BODIES, ALL FITNESS LEVELS AND EXPERIENCES. YOU ARE ALL WELCOME.

What is Pound?
Instead of listening to music, you become the music in this exhilarating full-body workout that combines cardio, conditioning, and strength training with yoga and pilates-inspired movements. Using Ripstix®, lightly weighted drumsticks engineered specifically for exercising, POUND transforms drumming into an incredibly effective way of working out.
Designed for all fitness levels, POUND® provides the perfect atmosphere for letting loose, getting energized, toning up and rockin’ out! The workout is easily modifiable and the alternative vibe and welcoming philosophy appeals to men and women of all ages and abilities.
WHY IT WORKS
+ Each 2-4 minute song is carefully calibrated with interval peaks and extended fat burning sequences, providing you with the best workout in the shortest span of time. After you’re done rocking out in a 45-minute POUND class, you’ll have completed up to 15,000 reps, performed over 30 extended interval peaks, and zipped through more than 70 techniques without even realizing it.
+ Numerous studies have proven the powerful brain-boosting, stress-relieving effects of drumming. The rhythm of drumming permeates the entire brain to improve focus, increase higher-level thinking and decision-making skills, boost the immune system, lower blood pressure, decrease chronic pain, anxiety, and fatigue.
+ You’ll burn up to 900+ calories per hour, strengthen and sculpt infrequently used muscles, and drum your way to a leaner, stronger physique – all while rocking out to your favorite music!
+ You’ll drastically improve your rhythm, timing, coordination, speed, agility, endurance, and musicality. Instead of counting reps or keeping track of the clock, POUND strategically distracts you from the high-intensity and duration of your workout, and shifts your focus to rhythm and volume. This strategic distraction is responsible for the “addictiveness” of POUND – the reason you can’t stay away!
