When I connected with people who had a regular practice of Kundalini Yoga, it was evident to me that there was something unique that they uncovered within themselves from participating in the practice. A few years into my practice, I was introduced to Kundalini Yoga and it was a complete game changer. Mostly, in creating flexibility and a deeper connection to my breath along with a relief from stress and anxiety. I started with a vinyasa flow and hatha yoga, through which many shifts unfolded in my life. I have been practicing yoga for many years. It seems too good to be true that something so simple could make such a profound transformation in one’s health and quality of life. However in a culture that often turns toward pills, quick fixes, and celebrity endorsed gimmicks, it seems unlikely to consider that something as simple as adding a regular practice of yoga can bring life-changing transformation to rise above depression, anxiety, disease, and health challenges. To many who have a regular yoga practice, seeking to gain relief from mental health challenges by way of one's practice makes complete sense. Oftentimes during the darkest hour of desperation, one is more inclined to consider applying somewhat unconventional methods to seek safe, sustainable relief. In addition, job loss, compromised education, economic instability, and unexpected loss of loved ones has created a psychological environment prime for chronic anxiety and depressive conditions for people in all stages of life, from young children to the elderly.
