SHE ’ S THE EMPOWERMENT GURU WHO A-LISTERS AND LEADING ENTREPRENEURS AROUND THE WORLD HAVE ON SPEED DIAL
Kundalini differs from other forms of modern yoga . The ancient practice has elements of traditional roots of yoga . However , it is not about headstands , aesthetics , or twisting yourself into difficult poses . It is physical practice , but focuses on overcoming mental , emotional and physical challenges , accessing the flow of energy within the body to strengthen the mind , create vitality , a sense or peace , calm , and resilience .
It ’ s no surprise that celebrities and the world ’ s elite are all rolling out their yoga mats and dialling into online yoga sessions with “ the queen of kundalini yoga ”, Dawn Harlow to guide them on their self-improvement journey .
The globally renowned yoga teacher is a master of the practice , which dates back thousands of years and is the more mysterious yet powerful older sibling to modern day yoga . It is said to have a rapid transformational impact , releasing stress and making you more fulfilled , happy , peaceful and creatively successful in every aspect of life .
“ Every single person has something that kundalini yoga can help with , whether it ’ s stress , burn out , overwhelm , anxiety , depression , low confidence , creativity blocks , or dealing with the overhang of recent life changing events such as Covid – it can help with everyday struggles , getting you mentally prepared and ready to overcome challenges that may come your way ,” says Dawn , who has practiced and taught globally for almost two decades .
Also known as a form of Raj yoga ( meaning royal ), for many years kundalini was shrouded in secrecy and reserved only for kings , queens and the elite . It then made its way to Hollywood , becoming the best kept secret of the a-list , with celebrities like Demi Moore , Madonna , Jennifer Anniston , Oprah , Michelle Obama , Cindy Crawford , Sting , Reese Witherspoon and Kate Hudson all said to be avid fans . It is the unspoken magic of many successful people .
The practice works to access an energy that lies dormant at the base of the spine in everyone . This energy is then moved up through the body , creating a powerful vitality to clear the organs , the subconscious mind and body ’ s energy systems . It ’ s achieved through a carefully crafted mix of kundalini methods including mantra , breathwork , physical yoga
