I meant generally in the UK as I have googled around for it, and people always ask me if I know any kundalini yoga places which I never know how to answer other than saying that i dont know.
Apologies, Henry, I don’t seem to have received notification of your post, thence The Silence…
On the other hand, Amy93, just got yours, thence my being here now.
To both, and FYI, it helps me to to be of some assistance if you are specific about the area in UK, or in London, as many of the classes will not make it to Google. They tend to be advertised locally, through flyers, and such.
Often, classes run within local community halls, or church halls. So it’s worth checking that, as well as, depending on the particular area/community, in local, independent, trendyish cafés, independent health food stores/shops, and holistic/alternative therapy centers, even when they don’t mention Yoga of any kind, as part of their activities.
KY teachers, in the UK, have tended to keep a relatively low profile, by comparison with, say, the USA. But there are quite a number of active, good ones, around.
If you happen to be near Bethnal Green/ Shoreditch area, there are a couple of Yoga centers who have hosted classes with prominent, visiting KY teachers from the USA, such as Gurutaj, Gurumukh, – many, a favorite. These classes tend to take place in sites simply known for general, or some other denomination, yoga practice. So don’t limit your search to specifically looking for KY classes, especially when searching online.
The following link leads to International, umbrella .orgs, specifically dedicated to KY http://www.ikyta.org/global-associations
The one bellow, is specific to London – UK, and may be a great place to start for all UK based forum members:
Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association
Phone:44-(0)7952-697-550
Email:info@kundaliniyoga.org.ukhttp://www.kundaliniyoga.org.uk
Hope this begins to help.
… without wanting to be pedantic, it perhaps matters to clarify:
HamsaYogi teaches Kryia yoga, not what is known as Kundalini yoga, fyi.all of these practices, including qigong, and taichi, target kundalini energy. So it can lead to confusion. Their method, however, differs; thence their denomination as being Kryia Yoga, or Kundalini, or iyengar, etc.
this is great, i love it.
and yes I am aware of HamsaYogi’s teachings. I went to one of his seminars/retreats and the breathing exercises are powerful, and very simple to do.
I was told it is okay to practice the kriyas with qigong and yoga by the teacher there as well.
Hi @Lexi
Just wanted to say I recently started tai chi classes in my local area and even that has helped my knees a lot! 🙂
So whatever you decided to do, do it thoroughlyyy 😀
