Kundalini Global

Kundalini Global classes open with a simple, extremely powerful, stretch that allows for every single person to start from a place of presence. Will you take it on at the start of the next 40 days, and see how it makes you feel? This stretch, and the two practices that follow it, are a wonderful, [...]

Our 220-Hour, Level-One, Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training, begins in May. In person, in London, and online, it is a unique training in a brand new form of Kundalini yoga, rooted in ensuring that all of teachers have an in-depth understanding of why and how yoga and breathwork help the modern day human. Our syllabus is [...]

The eyes. An interesting part of being alive and in a body, for all animals, human or not. In religious and/or spiritual thought the eyes are, perhaps, the most symbolic of our sensory organs. And we are extremely fond, as humans, of attaching meaning to our organs, curious creatures that we are. For all of [...]

On June 11th Carolyn Cowan has a workshop, on Zoom, on a Saturday morning, called ‘Finding Great Sleep.’ Doesn’t that sound like a wonderful idea? We considered cheating and asking Carolyn, ahead of time, exactly where it is that we can we find it. We have checked, and it does not appear to be hiding, slightly out [...]

In training to teach Kundalini Global, as part of their exploration of diversifying the yoga class, and in being open-minded and inclusive in their approach to all religious and spiritual belief systems, teachers individually work to consider the role of prayer in yoga. To bring prayer into the room, either in posture or as a [...]

Kundalini Global and endorphins are pretty synonymous with one another. Some of the characteristic aspects of a Kundalini Global yoga class are consciously chosen to be within our practice as a way to encourage their release. The primary function of endorphins is thought to be to relieve stress and pain. Yes, endorphins make you feel [...]

Kundalini Global teachers are trained to understand the architecture of posture in relation to chemical messengers in our bodies: hormones and neurotransmitters. We primarily bring attention to the changes that can come in response to the practices we teach: breathwork and posture (stretching and/or dynamic movement). In this, we often talk about encouraging the release [...]

Through both modern approaches, with a focus on nervous system regulation, and ancient ‘healing’ traditions, to shake the human body as a means to experience oneself differently is a popular and intriguing concept. In Kundalini Global we will, at times, bring in practises, postures, that can bring a tremor or shake to the body. One [...]

Interoception is a sense. An important one, too. And one that a regular Kundalini Global practise can help you in exploring and, from there, bring the potential for massive change in how you experience yourself and your life. Sit comfortably, where you are right now, and close your eyes. Notice what you feel inside your [...]

Over the past few weeks, Carolyn Cowan has offered a series of free, 90 minute, Kundalini Global yoga classes on Wednesday evenings to those signed up to her email newsletter. The classes were wonderful in the sense of community that they created and the sense of change they brought to those who made the choice [...]

Your brain doesn't know the difference between a real and perceived threat. The body doesn't either. We are living through a time where we are seeing a lot of suffering. Our empathy can feel overwhelming. The vicarious trauma of what we see on screen is being held not only in our minds but in our [...]

The power of now is a concept that explores the ability to transcend the pain of the past and the fear of the future. The extremely popular book called The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle is essentially a take on the concept of Advaita Vedānta, which translates as ‘non-duality’ and is a school of Indian, [...]

Join us at 4pm UK time on Friday 18th February to learn more about Kundalini Global and training with us. ‘Do something amazing’ was the tagline when the first Kundalini Global teacher training was launched back in 2019… …if the feedback and success of the first few cohorts of teachers in anything to go by, the [...]

Today we are going to dip into one concept, idea, area of study, that may be useful in considering how practises such as Kundalini Global, which work to change hormonal flow within the body, may [...]

It can feel that life goes by incredibly fast. We are each handed 86,400 seconds in every day… and so many of these moments are missed entirely in the noise, the chaos, the scrolling, the speed in which we’re invited to move through our lives. New Year is interesting in this. We tend, by degree, [...]

This week, as we move through Winter Solstice, with these so-short days (at least if you are in the Western Hemisphere) things begin to feel increasingly tricky for many of us. As Carolyn said in recent post  ‘It’s a shit show out there, beautiful people’... To help, Kundalini Global will not tell you what you [...]

Kundalini Global does love music. We aim to be open-minded and adventurous in our choices when it comes to music, as well as conscious, always. of the role music plays in the energetic field of a class… If you have been to Carolyn’s classes you will know that she uses a range of music that [...]

It was Ram Dass once said, ‘If you think you’re enlightened, spend a week with your family.’ It’s something that Carolyn sometimes mentions in Kundalini Global workshops when exploring the stress system, and when discussion turns to triggers… When mentioned, the room is guaranteed, always, to fill with knowing smiles, nods of agreement, bums shifting [...]

All Kundalini Global classes begin with a stretch. It is a simple stretch, from a practical perspective. But despite the ease with which it is practised, it is a magical stretch. A stretch that has a profound impact on the body and mind. It works with the Vagus nerve, the major muscles involved with your [...]

It’s a good idea to join a class this week. An excellent one. Why? Here are 11 reasons. We could give you many hundred more. 1. To build community.  When very many yoga teachers and practitioners moved onto Zoom at the start of last year it was a massive leap of faith, one that saw [...]

Being consistent as a yoga teacher, turning up again and again and again and again… it is hard. If you are a new teacher, setting a time for a class and being there week on week can bring with it so much. From the obvious, ‘will anyone show up?’ to the surprises that come when [...]

You may have heard Kundalini Global teachers singing the praises of what happens when you take on a daily practise. And perhaps you would like to take a practise on for yourself. It is a wonderful idea. Making a daily commitment to yourself will bring huge change relative to self-esteem, managing emotions, feeling present and [...]

In Kundalini Global classes you may well hear, or have heard, Carolyn and other teachers talking about the power of yoga in ‘these times’. The times we bring into our awareness in stating this could be considered relative to the eco trauma we all almost undoubtedly hold, to the curious existence and existential fear inherent [...]

In Kundalini Global yoga classes, teachers take many approaches to the practise, but all have been trained to be expert not only in the physiological benefits of posture and breath but also on esoteric thought, which can be fascinating to bring in to working with the physical body… especially when combined with the power of [...]

If you come to Kundalini Global classes you will be familiar with Sufi Grind. It is a posture that comes into most of the series we work with, often toward the very start of a class. And for good reason.  We have SO MANY yoga postures that we can work with, it’s incredible. When we’re working with [...]

Much of what we work with in Kundalini Global is in waking clients up to the possibility that they can change how they feel.  Realising that you don’t like how you feel is the first thing. Often, those who come to yoga may have got to that point. Choosing to change how you feel is [...]

Kundalini Global was born into something of an epic time. Not only relative to the global pandemic, but when we look at how it is we are invited to be all the time. 

Social media, the news, television… they are all designed to provoke 3 very specific emotions in us… to be offended, to be [...]
