Kunda.. what?

There are all types of Yoga for all reasons and types of people. When I took my first Kundalini class I didn't know what was going in. So many different types of repetitive movement I'd never seen in my then 8 years as a Hatha Yogi and my 16 as a mediator. I was intrigued and intimidated and boy did my arms ache. But since I was at the L.A. headquarters taking a class firm the leading teacher in the country I wasn't abit to give up. I had to overcome my expectations and give it a try to see what it was about. Besides the music wad really pretty and I wasn't being asked to chataranga (Yoga pushup).
So now many years later I love the boost of energy that a Kundalini class gives me. It works a whole set of different muscles than my regular practice and keeps my mind distracted. And did I mention the music? 
Carmen Uma Shakti is classically trained in India and here in the U.S. which gives her teaching an authentic yet modern feel. To top it off she's just plain sweet and caring. Her Kundalini class is one of the easiest to follow and understand.
Whether it becomes your main practice or like me it becomes a great addition to what you already do you should definitely give it a try.
Have fun and sing along.
See you on the mat,
Troy
