"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience;
we are spiritual beings having a human experience."
• Pierre Teilhard de Chardin •
While yoga is probably best known for its physical, mental, and emotional benefits, the practice of yoga benefits us in ways beyond the obvious. Kundalini Yoga is founded upon the principle that we are not human beings having a spiritual experience, but spiritual beings having a human experience.
With deeply spiritual roots, the intention of yoga is not only to feel better, but to connect with the infinite wisdom and blessings of the soul. The art and science of Kundalini Yoga extends beyond the physical to integrate the mind, body, and perhaps most importantly, spirit.
This joining together is what we call “yoga.” The idea is that we are not human beings striving to be spiritual; we are already spiritual beings. In the quiet moments and depth of our practice, we can reconnect with this knowledge.
