Awakening The Root Chakra

I would think this class might be a better fit for a novice - there's a lot of instruction and great information - but I didn't find as great of a variety of kriyas as some of Sarah's other kundalini classes. Great for a early morning, or end of day practice.

Sarah you ROCK !!!!

Thank you so much for this class! Tree pose has always been my favorite, and I loved the ways that it was incorporated into this practice. I also appreciate that this class, like many of the other videos on Yoga Today, not only incorporates physical well-being but spiritual and mental strength. Being in a pretty major transitional state in my own life right now, grounding myself was just what I needed.

I was skeptical at first because I haven't had great experiences with Kundalini in the past. This was a great way to combine the teachings with some of the more familiar (to me) asanas, with also some of the explanations. I may give kundalini another try.

Still yoga and a great workout but with a few new moves. Feeling very energetic!! Loved the practice. Thank you.

I really enjoyed this class and Sarah's teaching style. I learned a lot by her explaining the purposes behind each Chakra. I am not as familiar with Kundalini and now my interest is peaked to include that more in my practice! I was definitely "awakened". :) Thank you!

What a nice, refreshing class that focused on energizing breathing techniques. The breath of yoga is so key to the practice and learning new exercises was wonderful. Maybe not for the 'beginner' but it would enhance the importance of the breath through learning the practice. Loved it! Feeling great

very grounding! i really like the pose whne you had to stay in balance with your knees bent e the heels touching!

I was so lucky to have found this excellent class at a time when I've been feeling anxious. I willl be moving to a new town in a few weeks from now and have experienced a lot of anxiety for quite a while now. I felt so much releif from this class. It was so relevant to what I'm going through now. I'd recommend it to anyone who needs to feel grounded.

It would be dishonest of me to say I liked this when I didn't. I've practiced yoga for more than 5 years and I can do all these kriyas but I don't feel energized like hatha yoga energizes me. I'm also convinced that Kundalini is something that should be undertaken with a live teacher only. Plus I don't think many people should try to do rapid breath of fire in most of these asanas and kriyas. It's great to have Kundalini accessible in the library for those who like it, but I don't think Kundalini classes should be posted in the weekly free classes. I think it will turn newcomers off to yoga. Sorry to be a downer but I'm being honest.

Great

Loved the mix with some asanas in there. For me it was a perfect Sunday class - after a couple days without practicing. I find the kriyas a fun, playful change from routine. Is root lock essentially the same as a kegel contraction? If so, then I finally understand what it is.

This class is definately more about what is happening on the inside. Great meditative class with plenty of opportunity to be still and evaluate yourself. Reclining tree at the end was new and fun.

Thank you Sarah, felt great after.

Loved it! Nothing like some yoga to flush out your system!

Thank you Sarah for teaching us in such a peaceful way the wonderful benefits of Kundalini yoga. I actually found Yoga Today by your Kundalini lesson on Youtube and am a regular user since then!

Sarah, great class. I've done it for three days in a row and the benefits seem cumulative. My breathing is better, my toes are stronger and I'm more aware of when I hold stress in the bottom of my spine. Donna

I feel lovely, optimistic, and certainly grounded. (And it didn't kick my ass so much because the kriyas were brief!) Thank you so much, Sarah!

Probably a bit private comment but I had an amazing sex later on after practising this yoga lesson. Maybe that was thanks to real awakening the root energy and clearing the way up for it? Non-sexual feelings were great too, of course. Thank you, Sarah.

This is a great class and easy to adjust to your level, your pace or your own mood for the day. My first kundalini class and I am glad it was with you Sarah. Thank you for awaking my chakras.

I enjoyed Sarah's explanations of the different moves - made sense. Such a beautiful difference in how I felt before to how I felt after. Thanks again!

Thanks

This was my first-ever experience with Kundalini yoga and I appreciated the step-by-step instruction and Sarah's calming manner yet uncompromising example of what I may attain as I continue learning about and practicing Yoga. For instance, someday, I WILL be able to sit and stand without using my hands! Not today, not tomorrow, but someday!

Thank you! I love this class. People usually don't think about making the lungs stronger, but in the long run it helps you release a lot of stress when you have a smooth breath.

I want to pass this session to all my friends when they're having a hard time with transition and anxiety. So refreshing! All the tension released from your body and mind.

I'm a beginner, and I really like Sarah's pace and how she pauses to let us incorporate all the physical sensations and to assimilate it. She really invokes peacefulness in her manner and voice. This is just what I need right now since I'm getting ready to move to New Zealand from the US. Big transition. Thank you for the great class.

Thank you for this, Sarah, I really like your demeanor and style. I didn't realize how much a little bit of resentment was physically affecting me. I have been dreading something that I know will be good for me to do, and this practice session today has made a world of difference in my personal outlook (dare I say attitude?). Thank you so much. After I got over my feelings of silliness it really felt so very good. My dog got a little freaked out by the rapid fire breathing though.

this was not yoga it was listening to sara go on and on

Thank you Sarah!

i loved the mediation sequence for the uprooted! exactly what i need this summer. although, my body still could use a little bit more stretching after this practice.

I practice yoga a lot and quite often I have a sense of throwing up or a clog in my throat. Particularly after today's yoga, the sense is much stronger. Can someone explain why this happens and what can I do to prevent/ relieve this uncomfortably throat?

This week's yoga session was spectacular. I feel grounded and in sync with myself and found myself smiling during the session I was enjoying it so much. The perfect mood for my job interview this afternoon. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and movements with us. Namaste.

Always love doing something other than the typical Hatha class and have become really interested in Kundalini through Sarah's classes.
