Part 4/7:
Central to Kundalini yoga is the veneration of the navel and the surrounding core muscles. The class included traditional core exercises, which involved alternating movements of the arms and legs. Participants learned to find their unique angle that activated the abs without straining the low back, highlighting the importance of listening to one’s own body.
Through consistent inhale and exhale patterns, students were challenged to deepen their engagement, even eliciting mild tremors in the abdominal area to signify the effectiveness of their effort. This focus on the core underscores the interconnectedness of physical strength and spiritual energy refinement.
