Kundalini Yoga is a spiritual and physical discipline rooted in ancient Indian traditions. It aims to awaken the Kundalini Shakti—a powerful, dormant energy said to reside at the base of the spine.

🔥 What is Kundalini Shakti?
"Shakti" means power or energy in Sanskrit.
Kundalini Shakti is described as a coiled serpent lying at the base of the spine (in the Muladhara chakra).
When awakened through yogic practices, this energy rises through the central energy channel (Sushumna Nadi) and passes through the chakras, leading to spiritual awakening and higher states of consciousness.

1. Muladhara (Root) – Grounding and survival
2. Swadhisthana (Sacral) – Emotions and creativity
3. Manipura (Solar Plexus) – Power and will
4. Anahata (Heart) – Love and compassion
5. Vishuddha (Throat) – Communication and truth
6. Ajna (Third Eye) – Intuition and wisdom
7. Sahasrara (Crown) – Union with the divine
