How to Heal Depression Through Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini yoga is a low impact form of yoga that focuses deeply on the healing powers of both movements and meditation. Kundalini has specific exercises to increase mental stability and overall happiness. Kundalini is generally taught in a room setting with several students and one instructor guiding the flow of the session. The instructor will often take walks around the room to give specialized attention to the students while repeating the mantras, or individual lessons, of that specific session.
