Kundalini yoga is a relatively new type of yoga in Vietnam. This type of yoga is very good for health and spirit, but due to some misunderstandings, many people are afraid to try kundalini yoga.
Yoga has long been known as a sport to help improve health and kundalini yoga is a type of yoga that mainly focuses on improving the practitioner’s mental health. For yogis in Vietnam, this yoga is not too strange, but because of some prejudices about the impact on the perception of practitioners, this discipline is still limited in the number of participants.
What is Kundalini yoga?
Kundalini yoga is also known as the “yoga of awareness”. This is a school of yoga that focuses primarily on improving emotions and awakening mental and intellectual energy. It can be said that kundalini yoga will be more about improving your thoughts, inner will, increasing awareness and helping you feel more clearly and thoroughly about things in life. Although it is recognized that it can bring many health benefits, misconceptions about this type are also very large. Here are 5 common misconceptions about kundalini yoga:
1. Kundalini yoga is a dangerous form of exercise
No one has ever practiced kundalini yoga without being injured or in danger. Kundalini yoga is just a natural source of energy that brings love, healing and enlightenment to the body. Through the movements, kundalini yoga lays the foundation for the body for a safe experience. Besides, practicing this type of yoga regularly also helps you increase trust in your intuition and connect with yourself more. Most people who have tried kundalini yoga share that they feel great power from this type of yoga.
2. Kundalini yoga is a religion
Kundalini yoga works to connect you with your inner energy. Whether you are religious or not, the practice of kundalini yoga has a uplifting effect. Although “the powerful” is often used quite a lot in kundalini yoga, you don’t have to believe in any specific deity. Even if you don’t feel comfortable talking about “the powerful”, you can use other words such as sacred, cosmic, divine, source, spirit or nature.

3. Practicing kundalini yoga feels scary
For most people, the natural kundalini energy is like a wave that heals wounds and opens up new sensations. Because of that, you may feel like an inner happiness begins to spread from your spine and throughout your body. Some people share that this feeling gives them “chills”. In fact, novelty is only scary if you hold on to stereotypes and stereotypes. After a period of practicing kundalini yoga, you will be instructed to give up meat, alcohol … to open up the energy sources in the body.
4.Kundalini yoga is related to sex
As the energy passes through the spine and removes the accumulated “toxins”, it can open up the body’s sensitivity and amplify the sense of communication between the organs. When this happens, it can lead to feelings of warmth and sexual arousal. In kundalini yoga, this energy can be converted into personal energy to activate new awareness, and is also used to enhance healing, intuition, and feelings of love.
