Kundalini Yoga 101

This isn’t your typical yoga class or course - it’s a practice for mental, energetic, and nervous system fitness.

In this course, you’ll learn the foundations of kundalini yoga in a way that’s grounded, accessible, and distinctively linked to modern science. While its roots are spiritual, the emphasis here is on practical application and measurable impact. Through intentional movement (kriya), breathwork (pranayama), meditation, and energetics, you’ll begin to reconnect with yourself - not through force - but through rhythm, breath, and awareness.

This course invites an open mind and personal experimentation. Whether you’re new to yoga or simply new to kundalini, this practice helps shift mental and emotional patterns, clear internal clutter, and strengthen your ability to stay calm, focused, and regulated in everyday life. You don’t need to be flexible. You just need to be curious.

Remember: take what resonates, leave the rest. Enjoy!

Understanding Energy Exchange: Our Pricing Philosophy

In the yogic tradition, there's a powerful principle of "energy exchange." This isn't just about money; it's about the reciprocal flow of value and commitment that deepens a student's experience and honours the teacher's dedication. When there's a balanced exchange, the learning becomes more potent and truly integrates.

To embody this principle while ensuring Kundalini Yoga 101 remains accessible, we offer a sliding scale pricing model. This allows you to choose the financial contribution that genuinely reflects your current financial capacity and the value you feel you're receiving.

TIFFANY WONG

I teach kundalini and chakra flow yoga with a focus on making the practice feel accessible, emotionally honest, and energetically intelligent. I see yoga not as a performance, but as a practice that invites us to reconnect with ourselves gently, one breath at a time.

My own path into yoga wasn’t graceful. I spent most of my life avoiding it. My body felt too tight, and my mind too loud. But in 2019, I stumbled into a kundalini yoga class disguised as a “meditation and soundbath” and I left with a weight off my shoulder. The mantras gave my mind a focal point to focus on. The kriyas worked with my natural (and limited) range of motion. The practice made me feel awake in a way I hadn’t felt before, tapping into muscles and parts of my body I wasn’t familiar with.

Still, it wasn’t until a few years later - during a period of deep burnout and emotional exhaustion from the corporate world - that the practice truly met me where I was. I found myself in Tulum, questioning everything. That’s where I crossed paths with Gurmukh and returned to the mat. Slowly, something began to shift.

As someone with a left-brain, analytical mindset and a background in engineering, I’ve always craved logic, structure, and systems that make sense. What drew me to kundalini yoga was that it didn’t ask me to believe in anything blindly. It offered repeatable techniques - anchored in breath, sound, and rhythm - that I could feel working. Over time, I began to understand how these ancient practices aligned with nervous system regulation, energetic mapping, and behavioral science.

Since then, I’ve completed my 200-hour vinyasa and hatha training in Toronto and travelled to Amritsar, India to study kundalini yoga under Sat Dharam Kaur. The experience of practicing in Amritsar, with the sounds of the Golden Temple in the background, reminded me that yoga is not about escape - it’s about presence.

My teaching is shaped by that reminder, and by the influence of mentors here in Ontario, many of which who are teachers at Lotus Yoga Center; Dharm Kaur, Joanna Baron, Tara Abrams, Annie Keshishian, and Eva Blumenfeld. I’m endlessly grateful for their guidance.

Through Raising Potters, I aim to share this work in a way that feels grounded, clear, and kind. Whether you’re new to the practice or just returning after time away, I hope this space offers something steady to come back to.

Course FAQ

  • The practices in this course are drawn from the system of kundalini yoga, a lineage rooted in the tantric and yogic traditions of India. While its modern format has evolved through different teachers and influences, the foundational tools - pranayama (breathwork), kriya (sequence of intentional movement), mantra (sound), mudra (hand gestures), and meditation - have been preserved and adapted over centuries as a means to support self-awareness, energetic balance, and expanded consciousness.

    Most of what I share comes through my training in my 200-hour kundalini yoga teacher training with Sat Dharam Kaur in Amritsar, India; alongside continued study and practice with mentors in Canada including Dharm Kaur, Joanna Baron, Tara Abrams, Annie Keshishian, and Eva Blumenfeld.

    This course does not follow rigid doctrine. Instead, it’s a curated experience and I have tried my best to respect the source traditions and layer in the context of modern science, nervous system understanding, and personal agency. You’re encouraged to take what resonates and leave the rest.

  • Kundalini yoga is a spiritual practice, but it’s not religious. It doesn’t require you to subscribe to any particular belief system, deity, or tradition. Instead, it offers tools (like breathwork, mantra, and meditation) that help you connect inward, build self-awareness, and expand your energy and presence.

    That said, the roots of kundalini yoga are embedded in ancient yogic and tantric traditions from India, where practices were often intertwined with spiritual frameworks. Some elements (like chanting in Gurmukhi or Sanskrit) may feel devotional, but you’re always invited to explore them in a way that aligns with your own worldview.

    In this course, I offer these practices through a grounded, inclusive lens with reverence for where they came from and openness for how they can be adapted. Whether you experience them as calming, clarifying, sacred, or simply supportive, that’s entirely up to you.

  • No prior experience is needed. This course was created for people who are curious about self-awareness, energy, and nervous system support - even (and especially) if traditional yoga hasn’t resonated with them before!

    You don’t need to be flexible, serene, or able to sit still. In fact, many of the tools in kundalini yoga like dynamic breathwork and rhythmic movement are designed to help you work through restlessness, not bypass it. The practices meet you where you are and offer structure that supports clarity and inner steadiness.

    Everything is explained in a practical, accessible way, and you’re encouraged to move at your own pace. Meditation, here, doesn’t mean “empty your mind”—it means tuning in, moment by moment, with curiosity and care.
