Detox Retreat Rishikesh: How to Choose a Safe Programme

What Happens During Kundalini Awakening

What Happens During Kundalini Awakening

People ask us this a lot, usually after a class where something shifted for them — maybe a wave of heat up the spine, or tears they didn’t expect, or just a strange, heightened stillness afterward. “Was that Kundalini awakening? What actually happens during Kundalini awakening, and should I be worried?” Short answer: it depends. […]

Someone asked us this after a class not long ago — “I feel good after pranayama, but what am I actually doing?
