What Is Shamanic Kundalini Yoga And Why I Teach It

I teach Kundalini Yoga through the lens of shamanism, I work with the elements, the chakras, the moon, the turning of the year, crystals, the four directions, the ancestors and essentially the healing radiant energy of the universe.

I live shamanism as spiritual practice for daily life and I honour the mystery and the magic of this wonderful wild ride of existence as a human being in these times of huge change.  

I met kundalini yoga 14 years ago, whilst I was training to be a shamanic healing practitioner, and my first experience of kundalini yoga felt the same a receiving a shamanic healing … the spaciousness, the peace, the dropping right in, the FEELING!

I felt something so deep, so powerful and I was so moved by the experience that I guess that’s what you would call a game changing moment.

What developed after that first experience of kundalini yoga was a new way of connecting to my soul, and what followed was a total love affair with this practice for quite a few years before I began my teacher training in 2012. 

The depths of the shifts I experienced through kundalini yoga alongside the shamanic path were huge for me. Everything changed in these years! The call to be able to share this with others came whilst I was in a kundalini yoga class and it was such a clear call, such a strong call a very definite one.

There are moments when I am teaching that are so completely sublime, I´m covered in goosebumps and the space that exists between me and the class is so potent, so otherworldly, quite indescribable, and so full of energy.

The EXPERIENCE of kundalini yoga is so potent and can affect so much healing, it allows us the agency to change how we feel, we can be delivered back into alignment and this practice can really allow us to CONNECT truly and totally. 

Shamanism is the natural order, the natural way, the belief that everything has a charge, an energy, a vibration. That the universe, spirit, God, whatever you want to call the higher power is vibrating, has a frequency and we are all vibrating at our own individual frequencies connected to this source.

I teach a form of kundalini yoga called Kundalini Global. I re-trained in 2020, answering another strong call. It was rather divine timing as the lineage of the practice which I had originally trained in was crumbling, the world was going through such a massive shift. It was so liberating to find that underneath the dogma there was a real divinity that allowed freedom to flow. In a way it was perfect timing, the universe is so clever!

Kundalini Global has a fresh and radical approach to the traditional presentation of the practice. It´s not attached to any dogma, it is taught in a well informed and intelligent way, is radically inclusive and encourages teachers to hold space in an individual and empowered way. 

The merging of both the shamanic path and the kundalini practice was simply a natural evolution for me, one that feels so incredibly right, and what happens in the room or in the zoom is that a deep healing is affected.

I teach like this because it works! I teach like this because, this, is like yoga, a union of all the healing arts that I share, I teach like this because this is the guidance, this is the calling, this is the gift. 

It’s an honour to share it with you, each and every time and I bow down to the energy that supports my work and I am in awe and feel non-stop gratitude for the healing that flows.

Shamanic Kundalini Yoga, my version, or should I say, the version that comes through me, is something that is evolving each day, each class, each retreat, each programme and its incredibly exciting to allow this unfolding and to be the witness that I am.

If you feel the call to work with me there are many options, there’s lots of complimentary content on my website, a collection of classes to join and I host fabulous deeply healing retreats around the world. It’s always a calling to join me on retreat and the space that opens up is nothing short of magic …
