Beginning Thursday September 16 at 6:30 PM there will be a series of  11 Kundalini Yoga classes at Health Within Holistic, 500 B Queen Street in Charlottetown  

The theme of the series is Weighty Matters  - most of us think about our weight and are either trying to lose that last five pounds or put on some.  There is far more involved with the weight we wear than the calories we eat.  We carry around guilt and unresolved issues from the past; we succumb to cravings and many have true food addictions.   

The series of classes will explore these areas and more with kriyas that help break old self-destructive habits and create more positive ones; that help build self esteem and dash undeserved guilt; and that promote a healthy glandular system and digestive tract. (A kriya is a series of specific postures that has a predictable and expected effect on the body and mind).  
    Richman has been trained in Yogi Bhajan’s Kundalini style by Shakta Kaur of Chicago. The classes include chanting, breathing, mudras (or hand yoga), a meditation with the vibrations of the gong, and physical postures. The class ends with Yogi tea.   

Kundalini Yoga is considered the most comprehensive of yoga traditions, combining meditation, mantra, physical exercises and breathing techniques. It is designed to elevate the spirit, increase energy and help the practitioner feel GOOD! physically and emotionally. Kundalini Yoga works the entire nervous and glandular system and awakens the full potential of human awareness in each individual. It helps clear inner conflict, creates the power to deeply listen, cultivates inner stillness, and helps to have prosperity and deliver excellence in all that we do.
    
    Pre-registration is required.  The cost is $121 for the 11 classes.  If you are attending another class or two taught by Ruth in the same week or on the same day the fee is reduced.
