How the Practice Works

A Kundalini Yoga session includes several elements that work together to rapidly transform your inner state:

  • Kriya (Movement Sequences): Specific series of postures, movements, and breathwork that activate different body systems and energy centers.

  • Pranayama (Breathing Techniques): Breathing exercises that regulate the nervous system, increase energy levels, and bring mental clarity.

  • Mantra and Sound: Repeating sounds or mantras helps focus the mind, balance emotions, and create a state of calm and stability.

  • Meditation: Concentration and introspection techniques that reduce stress, increase awareness, and support inner balance.

By combining these elements, Kundalini Yoga is considered one of the practices that can produce rapid changes in mental and emotional states, making it suitable for people with active lifestyles seeking effective self-regulation tools.

Benefits of the Practice

Practiced consistently, Kundalini Yoga can bring multiple benefits:

  • Stress reduction and nervous system regulation: Breathwork and meditation calm the mind and reduce stress hormone levels.

  • Mental clarity and concentration: The practice supports optimal brain function and improves focus.

  • Emotional balance: Helps in identifying and releasing accumulated emotional tension.

  • Increased energy and vitality: Breath and movement stimulate circulation, detoxification, and the flow of energy in the body.

  • Body flexibility and toning: Kriyas work the entire body in an accessible way, regardless of experience level.

  • Self-awareness development: The practice supports a deeper relationship with one’s inner states and personal meaning.

The Approach in Monica’s Classes

Kundalini Yoga classes led by Monica integrate traditional practice with a modern understanding of the relationship between the body, emotions, and the nervous system.

In addition to her Kundalini Yoga training, Monica is a practitioner of the Compassionate Inquiry® method, developed by Dr. Gabor Maté, an approach oriented toward the awareness and understanding of emotional patterns and how life experiences are stored in the body.

This perspective brings to the practice:

  • more gentleness and safety when working with emotions,

  • nervous system regulation through breath and movement,

  • the creation of a space for conscious and authentic exploration.

Thus, the practice becomes more than just physical exercise or a relaxation technique; it is a process of reconnecting with one’s body, inner state, and natural resources for balance and clarity.
