I usually do not practice Kundalini yoga, so I am an amateur of this school. But each time I have tried it, I LOVE the after-effects. Sometimes I am too lazy to Kundalini - that's the truth! It requires much more physical presence (for me, at least) than other yoga styles I am familiar with, most notably hatha.
Kundalini really works your body aerobically, focusing on the breath and specifically this style called "rapid fire breathing" - which awakens the "kundalini" energy within you, creates youthfulness, and engages every part of the body. For me, this form of yoga most effectively ties my breath to movement - because every series of postures completely revolves around deep breathing and rapid fire breathing. I found another great introduction to Kundalini on youtube - and this time, not yogayak! It's from "Yoga Today" - and once again both the instructor and the flow are wonderful. I like this sequence specifically because of the guest yogis - they express their humanness during the flow - giggling, messing up, talking occasionally - which makes me feel relatable to them, and is oddly encouraging! I had to stop once during the frog posture - but that's it - and my body now feels totally revitalized. Also, my body even vibrated during this flow, because of the intense breathing, so I experienced a bodily high that is a personal rarity! I want to delve deeper into Kundalini - this is great!
