Personal statement: I started practicing hatha yoga as a teenager. Then when I was in my 20's, I discovered Kundalini Yoga. It resonated with me immediately as having great transformational power. Growing up in the 60's and 70's, I always loved the song by the Incredible String Band - "May the long time sun shine upon you..." Imagine my delight when this was the conclusion to my first Kundalini yoga class. What I really love about Kundalini yoga is that it includes the spiritual and meditative aspects as central, rather than peripheral. The holistic nature of Kundalini Yoga that uses the body asanas, along with mudra, mantra, and pranayam is the complete practice that we all crave. It's been my blessing over the past 40 years to revolve my life around this practice, and to observe the positive life transformations in myself as well as my students and fellow practitioners. The answer to the world's problems is awareness and love, and this is what this body of teachings can bring us.
