Music & mats

Siri Daya — Mon, 22 Mar 2021 12:25:08 +0000

One of the features of Kundalini Yoga is that we use music during the class. The music generally takes the form of mantras set to a melody. The mantras are often drawn from sacred texts and the rhythm of the music is usually matched to the way the mantra would be chanted in a non-musical setting. The playlist for each class is carefully chosen to complement the kriya (set of exercises) that we’…

Our Mt Eliza yoga studio

Siri Daya — Tue, 23 Jul 2019 06:32:43 +0000

“Yoga studio” might be a loose description. After all, we gather at the Meeting Room of the Mt Eliza Community Hall, not at a purpose built yoga studio. But every Tuesday evening, we make it our own, and it feels fine. So, what’s this post really about? It’s not just about the definition of the term “yoga studio”. The real purpose is to help you find it – the building has a lot of doors and we…

Good vibrations – enjoying a ‘gong bath’

Siri Daya — Wed, 12 Dec 2018 12:40:59 +0000

Just as everyone who is relaxing on a mat during a gong bath has a unique experience, gong players also report different feelings, emotions and sensations. However, without exception, we all love playing the gong and are deeply affected by the sounds and vibrations. Most describe being in a meditative state while playing, even though we are fully present to what we doing. Each gong has unique…

Why no incense and candles?

Siri Daya — Sun, 15 Jul 2018 11:48:40 +0000

Sometimes people ask about the use incense and candles in the classes. If you’ve come to the yoga classes on the Mornington Peninsula, you may have noticed that we don’t use them. There are a few reasons for this. The main one is that many people are sensitive to the smoke of incense and/or the scent of candles. It can cause an allergic reaction or just be a little unpleasant. Either way…

Monthly gong sessions

Siri Daya — Tue, 10 Jul 2018 14:09:22 +0000

Many students grow to love the gong when we use it during the long relaxation towards the end of the class. In fact, sometimes we wonder whether people come for the gong rather than the yoga. The good news is that there are more options for you if you’re one of those who wants more. Many Kundalini Yoga teachers band together and provide regular gong ‘baths’ (think bathed by sound…
