Kundalini yoga meditation is well known to uplift mind and spirit.
Kundalini Yoga has been described as the yoga of angles and triangles. The mudras fingers, hands and arms asana (position) creates a gentle pressure triggering the meridian (energetic channels in the body) and chakras (energetic point) by forming specific body shape and movement with different angles.
When applying medical meditation which consist of specific breath patterns, mudras, eyes focus and the combination of mantras (chanting, vibratory sound).
This combination activates not only the energetic but also the physical part of the body, in this case the endocrine system.
In the action of chanting a mantra the tongue touches the meridians point located around the teeth giving an impulse to the major upper glands of the body -the pineal and pituitary glands-. It results in a state of deep relaxation enabling us to access a space of healing body and mind, and the awakening of a deeper understanding.

About the master gland of the body
The pineal is a gland that sits inside the middle of the brain is about the size of a grain of rice, it is associated with the 7th Chakra aka the Crown Chakra. This tiny gland is responsible brain activity and sleeping patterns and for your overall energy level.
The Pineal Glad is said to be the highest gland and believed to be our connection to God. It is also said to be the “Angel” Gland that connects us to that realm. The endocrine glands produce hormones to help the body function optimally, supporting the endocrine and the chakra system, other glands and the organs.

Maitri Shakti Kaur is a devoted, dynamic and experienced teacher.
Maitri has been practising many styles of Yoga and Meditation including Kundalini, Iyengar, Jivan mukte, Restorative, Yin and Dru Yoga; exploring the art of mindfulness from the Zen Buddhist teaching of Thich Nhat Hanh and deepening her experience with 5 Rhythms which is a form of active meditation created by Gabrielle Roth.
Her interest on personal evolution brought her recently to take part of a course for a new technique called, the Metamorphic Touch, a simple and effective awakening massage that allows clients to experience their natural state of being letting go of mental and physical limitations.
Maitri feels her journey has reached a sort of completion attending "Beyond Addiction The Yogic Path to Recovery" in September 2015- 2016, taught and mentored by Sad Dharam Kaur. She is now supporting students with her knowledge and compassionate approach coming from her personal experience with a basic ayurvedic prospective and yogic lifestyle.
Maitri has trained as a Kundalini Yoga teacher with Sky in 2011-12, taught and mentored by Guru Dharam Kalsa.
In 2011 she has successfully completed a course with Siri Arti Kaur, founder of“Starchild”(Yoga for children age 4 to 16), bringing a creative and fun aspect to her teaching which not only children benefitted from but probably even more so her adult students. She complemented this training with the“Clown Therapy”course in 2009 for children recovering in hospital.
She has also been a certified Reiki 1 facilitator-healer since 2008 and attended level 2 in 2016 in Portugal.
Kundalini yoga has been the most powerful tool she has come across in her journey of self discovery through all the various disciplines she practiced and trained on, for the personal experience it gave her to inspire others in the same path.
Maitri has offered her service at a rehab centre - “Crouston Oak Lodge” and “The Passage” - a charities for homeless where she share the teaching to help on recovering from addiction with alcohol and drugs.
Complementing her yoga practice, she also teach how to integrate Ayurvedic nutrition into her students daily lives to improve the functioning of the systems in the physical, mental and spiritual body.
It is her wish that every living being, young or old, experience using these tools to heal themselves and to celebrate the infinite potential and truth that lies within each of us.
