FAQ’s

Should I do Hatha or Kundalini Yoga?

Good question…. If new to yoga and you have asked this question I recommend you try both…. Hatha compliments kundalini yoga very well.. it is said that if the yoga aspirant wants to deepen their connection to oneself then it is kundalini yoga you would practice as it works 17 time’s faster than Hatha yoga.

Do I have to be a vegetarian to do Yoga?

The first principle of yoga philosophy is ahimsa, which means non-harming to self and others. Some people interpret this to include not eating animal products. I believe that it is a personal decision that everyone has to make for themselves.
