What is Kundalini energy—and what does Kundalini Yoga truly mean?

Is it an ancient science of awakening, or a modern movement misunderstood by many?

In this episode of The Spirit of Yoga, Burkhard explores the deeper essence of Kundalini, the vital life force known in yogic tradition as Shakti—the serpent power that rests at the base of the spine and rises through the chakras toward spiritual awakening.

Drawing from classical Hatha Yoga scriptures and centuries of practice, this conversation reveals:

• The ancient origins of Kundalini Yoga and its connection to traditional Hatha Yoga
• How purification and breathwork prepare the body for the awakening of energy
• The contrast between classical and modern interpretations of Kundalini
• The real purpose of awakening—beyond energy experiences or sensation

This episode invites you to look beyond the popularized image of Kundalini Yoga and rediscover its original meaning as a sacred pathway to higher consciousness.
