Kundalini Yoga with pictures
We invite you to try the Beginners Cleansing Set, previously published in Sadhana Guidelines and used with kind permission from KRI. Yogi Bhajan said about this Kundalini Yoga set: “This easy series can beautify and lighten your body.”

1. Lying on the back, place the hands in back of the neck in venus lock under any loose hair. Begin breath of fire for 1 1/2 minutes, inhale and hold for 20 seconds. Repeat breath of fire, inhale and hold for 30 seconds. Relax the breath. Inhale deeply raising both of the legs one foot high. Hold for 15 seconds, exhale, inhale, and relax.





2. In this same position, spread the legs wide open. Begin breath of fire for 1 minute. Inhale-raise the legs 3 feet from the ground and hold for 5 seconds. Relax the legs on the ground. Repeat 3 times, doing breath of fire for 1 minute each time. Repeat breath of fire 1 more time, then inhale, raising the legs one foot. Hold as long as comfortable. This kriya stimulates the sex energy channels in the upper thigh.













3. Stretch pose: Lie on the back with legs together and raise the heels six inches. Raise the head and shoulders six inches and look at your toes. In this position begin breath of fire and continue for 3 minutes. Inhale and relax.









4. Sit up, with the legs out straight. Put the left leg on the thigh of the right leg. Keep the hands parallel to the ground, palms down, on each side of the left foot. Inhale, exhale and reach past the toes. Inhale deeply and sit up leaning back 30 degrees. The next time exhale grabbing the toes (not shown). Repeat 25 times and switch legs.






5. Sit up and lean back 60 degrees from the ground. Put the palms on the ground behind the back as a brace. Drop the neck back and look at the ceiling, fixing the eyesight on one point. Do not wink or blink. Begin breath of fire for 2 minutes. Inhale-raise both feet 12 inches from the ground, keeping the vision steady. Hold for 15 to 20 seconds, exhale down. Repeat breath of fire for 1 minute. Inhale-raise both feet 12 inches. Hold for 15 seconds. Exhale down and relax completely on the back.



6. Lying on the back, inhale deeply. Exhale completely. Raise hands to the sky, fingers outstretched. Brings hands together into tight fists and slowly bring them down to the chest, bending elbows. Keep tension in the arms as if struggling so that the fists shake as they touch the chest. Relax the breath. Repeat the exercise with the breath held in. Deeply and completely relax for 5 minutes.
