Kundalini Inspired Yoga 

South Devon, Online & Retreats

Join me in the nourishing practice of Kundalini yoga ~ breath work, movement, mantra and deep rest. Inspired by the energy of the moon, month or season. Balancing your body, mind and soul.

Kundalini Yoga strengthens the nervous system, balances the glands, purifies the blood, and cleans out subconscious thought patterns. This gives you greater awareness and ability to choose how you respond to your thoughts and feelings.
There are several science-backed benefits of Kundalini yoga. According to research, it may help ease stress and anxiety, improve cognitive functioning, and boost self-perception and self-appreciation. It is a deeply relaxing and transformative practice.

Kundalini yoga is known as the ‘Mother of all Yoga’s’.

A blend of movement, breath work, mantra and stillness, this ancient practice awakens and reconnects you to the divine energy within you. It can bring quick results, peace and transformation, to body, mind and soul.

The practice is a deeply personal one, inviting you to tune and connect inwards. Carried out with closed eyes, for most of the class, this allows you to not only feel less self conscious, but become more aware of what is happening within your body and energy.

There are no adjustments from the teacher, as Kundalini is about transforming your personal energy and empowering you to listen to and follow your own inner guidance.

My Kundalini inspired classes, workshops and retreats are accessible to everyone, no flexibility needed, chairs can be used if sitting on the floor is tricky. All welcome. Together we focus on practice, not perfection. This is a loving, gentle and warm space for you.

1 to 1 Private sessions

If you are interested in a private one to one session, perhaps you would like a ‘Kundalini Yoga Prescription’ for a particular issue you are navigating, or you would simply like a session designed for you, then i offer one to one sessions.

We will book in for a Zoom consultation to discuss, I will then create a Kundalini yoga class just for you, this will include a tailored breath practice, kriya (postures and poses) and a mantra. I will record the set and send to you, so you can practice in your own time.

One to One sessions are donation based, so you can pay what you feel or what you can afford. I want Kundalini to be accessible for all.

“The beauty of Kundalini is that it takes you beyond the confusion and clutter of daily life to a place where you experience a sense of real freedom and stillness.

At this point the neutral, meditative mind can allow access to inspiration, excitement and new possibilities. Your mind frees itself of the repetitive dialogue of negative voices and confused thoughts – the ancient echoes of the past.

The new, raised energetic frequency at which your mind is operating allows you to listen to your mind’s authentic voice, the voice of your dreams, passions and purpose.

In this neutral space we can accept who we are and embrace all that we are – the light and the shadows, the positive and the negative in us.

Today, most people avoid being with their minds in silence. It can seem at the same time both terrifying and lonely. We avoid this experience by distracting ourselves with external stimuli and busy-ness, to prevent ourselves from going within and developing a conscious relationship with our mind.

This helps to create an illusion of feeling safe and in control. But it is in the quiet still moments that we have potential to off-load the constant chatter and come to a point of peace.”

Kathryn McCusker ~ Teacher and Author  of Everyday Kundalini.

The power of breath work, movement and mantra.

In Kundalini Yoga the focus is on mantra, movement and the transformation of energy in your nervous and glandular systems.

We practice kriyas – specific sequences of yoga postures, breath techniques, and meditations – to produce specific results. This could be something concrete, like vitality or better digestion, or something etheric like intuition or an open heart. Each kriya comes with precise instructions and includes the following components:

Asana: yoga postures

Mudras: hand positions

Pranayama: breathwork

Mantras: intentional, repeated sounds

Bandhas: constriction of a particular area of the body

Drishti: directing the gaze of the eyes

Shivasana: deep relaxation at the end of practice

Each Kundalini Yoga kriya is designed to be practiced as a complete yoga set for relaxation and rejuvenation of body, mind, and spirit

Kundalini Yoga is known to assist change and self-limiting habits.

It is a transformational system designed to release blocks to the reservoirs of untapped energy within us.

It is designed to balance the glandular system and revitalize the nervous systems.

It works to build, clear, and balance the subtle systems of the nadis (energy channels) and the chakras. 

It includes hydrotherapy and breathing practices and other established practices for optimal health and optimal functioning.

It is a science

When energy moves freely through the chakras, it stimulates the mental, physical, and spiritual health of the being. There is a clarity that arises that combines perception, thought, and intuition.

The work with Katie has been life changing, and believe me I do not say such bold statements unless it is 100% true.

If you have been thinking ‘there must be more to life than this or what next?..’ then try out Katie’s Circles – your wellbeing will thank you for it!

“Katie holds space for those who need it and it is a really non judgemental, nourishing environment to attend. The spaces she uses are beautiful and cosy environments and she is always welcoming and friendly. The circles are well structured but each person is given the time and space they need. The circle and sound events are a whole new level of special.”
