There are several science-backed benefits of Kundalini yoga. According to research, it may help ease stress and anxiety, improve cognitive functioning, and boost self-perception and self-appreciation.

Kundalini Yoga incorporates repetitive movements (think, twisting left to right over-and-over-again), pranayama breathing (or breath work such as breath of fire), meditation, and chanting mantras (like Sat Nam – truth is my identity) for prolonged periods of time to shift our consciousness.

There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to how often you should practise Kundalini Yoga – this ultimately depends on your individual lifestyle and preferences. At Haven, we usually recommend that our yogis create a routine with their sessions, starting with at least one session a week.
