Hi,

Does anyone have experience with Kundalini yoga? I ordered the Detox&Destress dvd with Maya Fiennes and followed it yesterday for the first time. Everyday I start with at least 30 min. easy yoga (hatha+power), sometimes switch to qigong, etc. but I wondered if one can do these Kundalini techniques every day. I have to take care because still haven't healed from IBD and don't want to take energy away from where it is needed in the process. I found the exercises doable but more strenuous than what I usually do. Then again, one should benefit from the energy the exercises bring... Anyone some professional insights? 

Thanx ;)

Way to go Green! You'll notice that after your joints and organs cool down they open up from all the blood and fresh oxygen you just worked into them. Sometimes my joints need a day off just to cool down but it works sooo good! P.S. Melons and other cooling fruits are great to have after class.

Green!! I'm so excited for you that you liked your Bikram class!!! I often hear such negativity regarding peoples' experiences. About the room not being hot enough... Was it an actual "Bikram" registered school? I have experienced many studios that offer "hot" yoga and practice a similar routine to Bikram's. However, those studios (and not all...just a few I've tried) seem not to keep the correct humidity levels. 

 

Or.. Maybe it was the instructor? I have had some instructors who keep the windows open waaaayyy too long. 

 

Or.. Maybe you just REALLY like the heat!! hehehe AWESOME!! :) 

 

OH.. and another thing that might help (and not that I'm any kind of Bikram guru...I just LOVE it and try to practice as often as I can..): as you continue to grow in your practice and improve your postures, I feel that you will be better able to concentrate on deepening the poses. This (again, maybe someone has a differing opinion or advice^^)will ultimately force you to work harder thus producing more heat in your body. 

 

Anyways... bask in the Bikram glow that your body, mind, and heart will begin to RADIATE!!! :)

Thank you Samantha!!!

I really appreciate your help. 

I already have some poses down. 

I will be going to a yoga session tonight. 

We have to get together again.

Maybe we can practice by Torrey Pines or somewhere near you.

Hey Che,

I do yoga like 4-5 times a week. I can teach you. I can be your personal instructor. Here are some ideas.

You can start in downward dog, flow to plank, flow to shivasana, flow to upward dog,  then childs pose. Take like 5 breaths in each pose. End in corpus pose.

You can also start in downward dog, flow to plank, flow to warrior, cart wheel down to plank, flow to shivasana, flow to upward dog,  then childs pose. Take like 5 breaths in each pose. End in corpus pose.

You can google these poses or youtube them. You can do it once thru or 10 times thru. Whatever you like. Also, you can take one breath in each or 5, whatever you want.

Hello, I am a beginner in yoga.

I currently know a couple of poses.

But nothing extreme.
