Yoga Pilates Body Studio for Kundalini Yoga and more!

Kundalini Yoga classes (Taught by Rick Powell)
are designed to build strength of will in a relaxed and comfortable setting. A typical class will begin with a meditative warm-up emphasizing the flow of breath and your awareness to it. Then move into physical asana which includes rhythmic movements of the body and the breath. The class employs various Pranayams(breathings), Mudras (hand gestures), Bandhas (locks), Mantras (words of power), and visualizations to attain fast results. This is followed by a Kriya, a specific sequence of exercises designed to bring about a specific metabolic change. Each Kriya has a goal, be that cleansing the liver, calming the nerves, or strengthening the heart, etc. Kriya also assists the ability to meditate. Although there is a specific function of each Kriya, every Kundalini Yoga class will help balance all the chakras and systems. Class will finish with a resting pose, a few good stretches, and closing mantra.

While looking for a Yoga Studio in Johnson City that offers Kundalini Yoga, we were surprised and pleased to find that Yoga Pilates Body Studio offers that and more. We were especially please to learn that Rick Powell was a teacher there. As some of you may be aware, Rick is an experienced instructor who has taught many in our area, and there are very few in our area (if any) who are truly competent to teach this form of yoga.
