What is the difference between hatha yoga and kundalini?Any kind of yoga is not well-defined, and even if it is well defined in the head of the founder,
the intentions of the definitions are often not well transfered to the heads of the practitioners.
What is your purpose when chosing a path?
Kundalini could be dangerous if your stomach, heart, throat is closed.
Find a good teacher. Just look at the teacher, do you have the impression he is a happy person?
Our energy mainly does not flow because of our emotions.
In fact it doesn't flow well because of because of being not present or too present (in some parts).
We can make the energy flow again through meditation, yoga, ...
But it's very important to use the new awareness to adapt our lifestyle (new perceptions, thoughts,...).
Therefore some people tend to be negative towards the esoteric stuff.
Well, it has its value, but be careful, and enjoy life. Life is an experience just like meditation is.First, be aware of the potential confusion between Kundalini as a yogic path and Kundalini as a style of Hatha yoga.
In the broad view, it can be said there are eight branches of yoga:
- Bhakti yoga
- Hatha yoga (the yoga of physical discipline; usually the only yoga familiar to Westerners)
- Jnana yoga
- Karma yoga
- Mantra yoga
- Tantra yoga (includes Laya yoga and Kundalini yoga)
- Raja yoga
- Guru yoga
If interested in Kundalini as a yogic path, the author Georg Feuerstein suggests either his own book "Tantra: The Path of Ectasy", or Gopi Krishna's autobiography, "Living with Kundalini."
Kundalini as a style of Hatha yoga was originated by the Sikh master Yogi Bhajan.
