“I have found Kundalini yoga to be a liberating practice. At first, I was skeptical, but now I understand the purpose and effectiveness of mantra, mudra, pranayama and kriya yoga on our mind, body and spirit. It's just another practice to help humanity realize our potential through movement, breath and connection. It's a beautiful, challenging and meditative tool for growth.”
