What To Expect
Static Immersive Meditation
There is no precondition for these sessions. You can participate as short as 30 mins on a chair and with any outfit.
Dynamic Immersive Meditation
You need a mat and comfortable clothing. If you need to sit, you will need a cushion.
When coming to a class or workshop please keep in mind:
- Avoid eating a large meal two to three hours before class.
- Wear loose comfortable clothing. Natural fibers are best as they allow your skin to breathe.
- Bring a yoga mat (or sheepskin) to work on and a blanket to cover up during relaxation or to cover the spine and avoid chills.
- Bring a water bottle and drink small amounts often during a class, especially if it is strenuous.
- It is best to do yoga with bare feet. This allows the nerve endings to exchange energy into the atmosphere.
- Cultivate the habit of going a little beyond your limits, but not to the point of injury. When you cannot continue an exercise, rest a moment, and then resume. Often meditations in kundalini yoga can cause some discomfort through holding a static posture. It is best to hold the posture unless it is not causing physical damage. The pain will pass and this increases the effect of the meditation.
- Women should avoid strenuous exercise during the first three days of their period. They should also avoid a specific yoga breathing technique called Breath of Fire, as well as inverted postures such as Shoulder Stand. A gentle approach is best during your menstrual cycle and also during pregnancy.
- Pregnant woman, should avoid Breath of Fire and Shoulder Stand, and any exercise done on the stomach.
