Basic concepts of kundalini yoga

The eponymous direction of yoga, which became widely known relatively recently - in the middle of the 20th century, is designed to awaken the energy of kundalini, sleeping at the base of the spine. Kundalini in Sanskrit means coiled spiral. With the help of intensive breathing exercises (pranayama) and special sets of postures and ligaments (kriya), the energy gradually rises and passes through all the chakras.
