I’m very interested in Kundalini yoga. Does anyone have any DVD or book or advice for me on this topic. At this point I’m definitly a beginner in the subject. Thanks, peace.
I believe that each one of us has a style of yoga that may fit us best, Kundalini yoga may be for you and the best way to try it is by an instructor. The five tibetan rites, which you can find on the web is a style of it too. Kundalini yoga tends to be a faster style of yoga where breath of fire is one of the mainstays. google search for it and I am sure there is someone in your area.
good luck

Thank you so much, I will most definitly use the google on this one:) Take care, peace.
What piqued your interest in Kundalini yoga?
I really want to emerse myself in yoga and I have been studying hatha yoga and read a little bit about kundalini and it just sounded wonderful and I am always looking for something that has good movement and flow. I have one book, but I’m always interested in more information. Thanks.
Namaskar,
Mukunda Styles in one of his books recommends
that Kundalini yoga be practiced under the supervision of
a teacher or in an ashram setting and I totally agree with
him.

I have read somewhere that the best reachers of Kundalini are Sikh Khalsa.
Now Sikh is the name of a nation. Khalsa is the name of a Sikh organization, apparently self-defence.
Could somebody elaborate why are Sikh Khalsa the best teachers of Kundalini ?
Note: If I remember correctly it was M. Stiles who said that about Sikh Khalsa.
I practice Kundalini Yoga and it’s truly wonderful 
I’ve never felt so Alive!!!
It’s a safe practice and you only need to worry about the Kundalini awakening if it’s done too quick. Kundalini Yoga has all the safe guards in place so this doesn’t happen
I’d recommend DVD’s by Anna Brett & Ravi Singh. They’re amazing teachers.
Sat Nam
Sorry, that should of been Ana Brett NOT Anna ^^
The DVD that I like to use is “Kundalini Yoga” by Gurmukh. You can order it off Amazon. It is safe. Just know your limits. Where a white head covering to contain and ground all the energy you will generate from this practice. It is amazing how much energy and calm it will bring you at the same time. It will really open up your vertebrae and heal your spine. It is good for healing pinched nerves, sciatica, and muscle tightness. If you are in the LA area check out Golden Bridge on Highland and De Longpre (Hollywood area).
Kundalini Yoga has saved my life. I hope it saves yours too.
Kundalini Yoga is very interesting. Some of it’s kriyas can make you feeling very good. But be careful. I believe their are some inaccuracies in it. It has had its fair share of scandals, and it was totally made up by Yogi Bhajan.

I think those are mostly Internet rumors spread by a few disgruntled ex-yogis who now practice an extreme form of fundamental Sikhism that some might call blasphemy to the true meaning of the religion. They spend hours on the Internet each day posting negative allegations against YB. I haven’t seen any proof that Yogi Bhajan totally made it up. In fact, some of the same people whol claim he made it up also claim that he stole the postures from Hatha yoga. So which is it? His critics can’t seem to get their stories straight.
According to the teachers that teach Kundalini Yoga today the kriyas are thousands of years old. The research I’ve done suggests that YB learned from his grandfather or an elder in his hometown. The kriyas do work and they have a profound effect on the nervous, glandular, and immune systems. They are done for a specific effect. Last week I did a kriya specifically for the sciatic nerve. Today, I participated in a class that cleansed the liver and spleen.
Yogi Bhajan’s grandfather set up the meeting with his teacher Sant Hazara Singh.
Transcript is here: fateh.sikhnet.com/s/ATeacher
I read that story about Sant Hazara Singh. Of course there is no mention anywhere of this Mr Singh outside of 3HO. It is almost, as if he made him up.
Yogi Bhajan has paid over $350,000 to make his scandals over sexual harrasment and sexual battery go away.
“No historical insight or hindsight is required to conclude that the whole story ofYogi Bhajan, claiming to be the only Maha Tantric of the Sikh tradition which even the Sikhs forgot, and his definition of a Sikh is a ridiculous fabrication, unbelievable on the face of it. This self-deluding fabrication is based on nothing but a chain of patent lies, less romantic than a fantasy. Yogi Bhajan fits Sikh history into centuries of history of Kundalini Yoga as a minor and unimportant episode of a group of people who forgot their traditions in their era of persecution, and had to wait for Yogi Bhajan the Messiah of Kundalini Yoga. He considers Guru Nanak and the householder Sikhs to be one group of Kundalini sect, with Siri Chand and his followers the other group. He completely forgets Guru Ram Das in this tradition. Now he is the only Maha Tantric, the Only Kundalini Expert in the world. Up till 1972 Yogi Bhajan never mentioned in the Beads, even the name of Sant Hazara Singh who was murdered at Doraha, if I am not wrong. As Hazara Singh died decades ago, the time gap had to be filled by a fictitious Mahan Tantric from Tibet Lama Lilan Po. But Yogi Bhajan does not state whether it was before or after the Chinese occupation. Did Lilan Po come to Los Angeles or he flew to Tibet with the special permission of the authorities. What surprises me is not that Yogi Bhajan can fabricate such unbelievable and fabulous stories, but that educated Americans in the proper frame of mind can believe all this balderdash. He
claims that he was a Kundalini Expert at the age of 14. This must be news even to his father, who is living. None of his college mates, some of whom are in the U.S.A., will confirm any of this nonsense.”
I would be very wary or anyone that suggests kundalini yoga to a beginning yogi or any teacher that would teach kundalini yoga to any student who walks into a studio.

Everything you need to know about “Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan” is in here.
Just find a good hatha yoga teacher for now. No need to get involved in a group like 3HO.
Nomad,
“Just find a good hatha yoga teacher for now.”
Hatha Yoga is itself a kind of Kundalini Yoga. Because any method which has for its means the awakening of Kundalini at the base of the spine and activating of the chakras along the sushumna, is a method of Kundalini Yoga. What a man like Yogi Bhajan has done is simply coin the words " Kundalini Yoga ", to refer to the techniques which he had been transmitting. But if one thinks that his “Kundalini Yoga” is some kind of ownership over Kundalini Yoga, then one is mistaken. Though Hatha Yoga has become severely distorted in the West, its fundamental concern is with awakening of the Kundalini energy and transformation of the energies of the subtle body as a means towards enlightenment - it is fundamentally a method of Kundalini yoga.
