Can Kundalini Yoga affect the way that we age? 

Research over the past thirty years has shown that the practice of yoga and meditation, plus a clean diet and lifestyle, can greatly reduce the part of our DNA that’s related to aging. In this week’s Yogic Living, we explore the way Kundalini Yoga can impact the way that we age. 

Most of us are familiar with the detoxifying, youth-inducing effects of yoga. But could it be that Kundalini Yoga not only helps ease aches and pains but actually helps us feel and look better as we age? Here’s to not just aging healthily, but aging backward with Kundalini Yoga! 

Winter Solstice Celebration 2022

For the first time since COVID, we will gather in person for an intimate Winter Solstice Celebration in Northern California this year. You’re invited to the Santa Cruz mountains, overlooking Monterey Bay, to build from the heart-up what is better and stronger than ever before. This cozy event will only be available to the first 125 people to register – don’t miss this opportunity to be together in person! This is a precious time for our global community. May we breathe this new world into being!

Virtual, livestream option now available too!

Apana Kriya (Elimination Exercises)

This kriya works on the digestive system and the skin. Aging does not start just with years; it begins with nutritional deficiency, intestinal problems, untended emotional and physical stress, and an inflexible spine that disrupts the flow of meridians and the rejuvenating flow of your spinal fluid.

Kirtan Kriya

Research has shown that 12 minutes of Kirtan Kriya a day can improve cognition and memory function, and helps to prevent the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. Click here to learn more about clinical research into the effects of Kirtan Kriya.

Basic Spinal Energy Series

In Kundalini Yoga it is often said that age is measured by the flexibility of the spine: to stay young, stay flexible. This series works systematically from the base of the spine to the top. All 26 vertebrae receive stimulation and all the chakras receive a burst of energy.

Numerology for December: A Restorative Time-Out

Here we are, still standing at the end of an extraordinary year, and it is essential now to turn the lamplight down low. Rest, relaxation and pleasant festivities are all a part of the cure for what has been a rough n’ tumble time on planet Earth.



A restorative time-out is keynote to our collective healing, as a lack of self-sensitivity weakens the immune system. This insensitivity is the beginning of what is called Cold Depression in yogic science. Cold Depression is a type of robotic functioning and overall disconnect from one’s own feelings. Not a happy way to live, so let’s explore some solutions to this.

Your Contribution Matters

Maybe a new teacher in Thailand is looking for a particular kriya. Or a lifelong student in Chicago wants a recipe for the weekend. Or someone who’s struggling in Australia and needi to hear about Seva and the solstice celebration. 3HO is for everyone, everywhere looking for connections to resources, inspiration, and community events as they engage in the path of Kundalini Yoga in their life.

Every day, someone gets on a yoga mat for the first or the thousandth time and uses 3HO resources — videos, posts, lives — to guide their practice. We are grateful for your support, as we expand our digital resources.
