Commentary
This deeply personal, jubilant introduction to the Kundalini Yoga system is written specifically for women who want to take care of their bodies while polishing their souls. The first devotee of Yogi Bhajan (the father of Kundalini Yoga), Shakti Parwha Kaur Khalsa has been teaching this style of yoga since 1968. She shares her wealth of knowledge with an infectious glee that manifests as poetry, cute slogans ("Woman is Spelled Double-You-O-Man"), and prose that jumps off the page. The abundance of topics covered here includes meditation, postures, kriyas (cleansing practices), chakras, chanting, affirmations, and breathing practices. Although written for women, this book serves as an excellent all-around reference to a challenging and rewarding practice.

Publisher's Notes
Taught for thousands of years--and revealed to the West in recent decades by the master Yogi Bhajan--Kundalini Yoga is suprisingly simple to learn. And practiced regularly, it can strengthen the nervous system, balance the glandular system, and harness the energy of the mind and emotion as well as the body. While general yoga technique focuses on exercise postures and breathing, Kundalini takes yoga concepts a step further by integrating them into everyday life activities. This definitive guide, fully illustrated with photographs, is an accessible introduction to this ancient practice, with information on poses and positions, diet and lifestyle, breathing and stretching techniques, chanting and meditation exercises, and general guidelines that can help anyone--beginner or advanced--gain the greatest benefit from yogic practice.
