ABOUT KUNDALINI YOGA

Kundalini Yoga is your creative potential.

It is the supreme technology to awaken your awareness and take you into your original Self. It is the natural unfolding of your own nature.
Kundalini Yoga is the fastest way to establish an aligned relationship between the body, mind and the soul, which is the threefold structure of the human being.  Through these three facets we experience the universe and the Self.

What is the main difference between Hatha Yoga
and Kundalini Yoga?

The main difference is Time.
The purpose of Hatha Yoga is to rise the awareness. It is also a technology that brings apana and prana, the moon and the sun powers, together to raise the consciousness through the central equilibrium line. Its stated aim is to raise the Kundalini. The problem is that it takes about 22 years to raise it that way, even with perfect practice. That is the long method. The difference with that and Kundalini Yoga is only a matter of time and rate of progress. The purpose of the two approaches is the same; only Kundalini Yoga is direct, quick and a perfect practice for the pace of a householder.
