ABOUT THOU ART YOGA
Founded by Elspeth Duncan (Tek Har Kaur) in 2010, Thou Art Yoga is a movement for personal and global uplifting and transformation through Kundalini Yoga (as taught by Yogi Bhajan) and the creation of music, art, products and events inspired by it.
What is Kundalini Yoga?
The form of yoga we practise is referred to as Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan. Yogi Bhajan (1929 – 2004), Master of Kundalini Yoga and White Tantric Yoga, introduced this ancient sacred science to the west in 1969. Also referred to as “the householder’s yoga” on account of its powerful, fast-track nature, Kundalini Yoga is ideal for those who seek expanded consciousness amidst the daily challenges of today’s world: jobs, businesses, families, social pressures and general stressors.
Kundalini Yoga combines specific postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), hand positions (mudras), meditation and the chanting of mantras (in the ancient sacred languages of Sanskrit and Gurmukhi). Together, in prescribed sequences, these create specific, positively transforming effects.
Kundalini Yoga is not a religion. As with any form of yoga (derived from the Sanskrit word yuj meaning ‘yoke’), it enables one to achieve union with the Divine/one’s Higher Self.
Benefits of regular Kundalini Yoga practice include:
- relaxation
- more energy
- increased creativity
- expanded awareness
- increased ability to focus
- balancing of the emotions
- strengthened nervous system
- greater clarity- increased flexibility
- development of personal discipline
- the healing of body, mind and spirit
- removal of blocks to personal fulfillment
- opening of the heart to attract opportunities and healthy relationships
- strength to overcome and release unwanted habits and modes of behaviour
