Sat nam, ji, and welcome to the yahoo group for kundalini yoga.

The eminent mythologist Joseph Campbell found the word "kundalini" world-wide, in every ancient culture, as the innate power rising along the spine, bringing union (yoga).

The formerly secret Kundalini Yoga was brought to the West in 1968 by Yogi Bhajan, who founded the Healthy, Happy, Holy Organization (http://www.3ho.org) soon thereafter to spread the teachings. Kundalini yoga contains thousands of kriyas (collections of asana postures to achieve a goal inherent in the title of the kriya) and meditations, often with pranayam (breathwork) and mantra.

"Kundalini Yoga teaches you the techniques and awareness to stay healthy. You gain strong immune, glandular and nervous systems. This foundation gives you energy and lets you deal with the mental and spiritual facets of your life.”

-Yogi Bhajan
