Kundalini Yoga Challenge Day 4: Kriya for Metabolism and Relaxation

Kundalini Yoga Challenge Day 4: Kriya for Metabolism and Relaxation. Welcome to Day 4 of our 8-Day Kundalini Yoga Challenge with Olga Henriksson. Today’s class is dedicated to enhancing metabolism and achieving deep relaxation, a powerful combination for balancing your energy and vitality.

In this session, filmed in the serene and energy-filled environment of Älgö, you’ll begin by grounding yourself with calming breaths, tuning into the natural rhythm of the waves. The practice focuses on specific breathing techniques and kriyas designed to stimulate your metabolism and oxygenate your body, while simultaneously guiding you toward a state of profound relaxation.

You’ll work through a series of dynamic movements and breath patterns, including alternate nostril breathing and breath of fire, which are essential for balancing both your lunar and solar energies. This balance supports a healthy metabolic rate and promotes overall well-being.

The class also includes the stretch pose, which is highly recommended for energizing your body each morning, setting a vibrant tone for your day. The practice concludes with a relaxing Shavasana and a gentle spinal twist to release tension and integrate the benefits of the session.

Remember to stay hydrated today to support your metabolism and help your body eliminate what it no longer needs. Light to all, love to all, and health to all. Thank you for joining today’s class—Sat Nam.
