Guidelines for Kundalini Yoga Practitioners

To Be Observed
Asanas should be practiced early in the morning or in the evenings.
Practice asanas on an empty stomach. If your practice session is scheduled during the day or the evening, an interval of at least four hours should lapse after the last meal.
You can take food or meals approximately one hour after practice.
Wear loose clothes during practice sessions.
Concentrate your mind in your forehead through out the yoga.
Before starting yoga, observe two minutes of kundalini energy in your meditation.
Imagine your physical body is inside a pyramid. This will enable the mind to avoid unwanted thoughts and focus your kundalini energy during yoga.
Daily practice essentials for fast progress.

To be avoided
Avoid practicing if suffering from fever, diarrhea or any other acute condition.
During menstruation, asanas should not be practiced. Pregnant women should only practice a few simple asanas under expert guidance
You may feel a slight pain when you first start practicing asanas. Do not worry, for within a week of regular practice the aches will disappear.
Perform the asanas according to your physical capacities. Don't practice to the point of fatigue.
If you perspire while practicing, do not wipe off the perspiration , let it evaporate.
