I’m very much a yoga newbie. I take a few classes here and there, but they are mostly beginners-level type stuff. I decided to try Kundalini Yoga, thinking it’d be a more intensive class. I really need to do my research beforehand; it wasn’t what I was expecting at all. Lots of waving my hands in the air, chanting ‘hamhamhamham’ (that’s what it sounded like to me, anyways). At one point, we were puffing out our cheeks and moving our eyes left to right. WTF? Where was downward facing dog? Child’s pose? Moon? At the end of the class, everyone sang a song. I was bewildered.
I won’t be Kundalini-ing again anytime soon. What I should have taken, was ‘Slow-Flow Yoga’, which was going on right next door. I had no idea there were so many different types of yoga. On the plus side, I think my arms got a good toning with all that waving.
Namaste.
