Kundalinī
The Atomic Force of Total Awakening
The great yogins developed the tradition of Kundalinī and Hatha Yoga after centuries of experimentation in practice and from revelations they received from celestial messengers.
Unfortunately, modern New Age influence on yoga has distorted the original tradition of Kundalinī, which is the version that most of us have been exposed to on our search for authentic spiritual paths. For example, cakras aren’t “things” and they cannot be healed. Cakras are not associated with rainbow colors, nor are they linked to specific emotions. Contrary to popular belief, your Kundalinī cannot be awakened or manipulated by another person (including your guru, lama or healer).
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
The goal of this course is to provide a traditional and authoritative understanding of Kundalinī as transmitted by the great Yogins nondual Oral-Practice Tradition. According to the authentic Kundalinī tradition, there are actually 8 ways to awaken Kundalinī, and up to 11 different ways that its awakening can manifest. Join us for a journey through the traditional teachings of Kundalinī preserved by the yogins of India & Tibet. Ample time will be provided to answer your questions so as to rectify any false views that could potentially mislead and impede your yoga & kriyā practice.

About the Teacher
Dharma Bodhi (Kol Martens)
Dharma Bodhi began practicing yoga at seven years of age. In his teens he moved into practices of Chan Buddhism and Daoism received through his Chinese martial arts teachers in New York. After completing his chiropractic degree he studied in an Oral-Practice Tradition of Non-Dual Śaiva Tantra, taking initiation into one of the Daśnami Orders of practice from India. In 1996 he complete ācārya training under his Śaiva gurus. This training emphasized traditional Kundalinī Hatha Yoga and a progressive system of Meditation, along supportive studies in ritual/pūjā and yoga texts. Since graduating as a Śaiva ācārya, he took refuge with a great master of Bönpo Dzogchen meditation, and studied with him by taking multiple trips per year to his monastery in India for a period of 8 years. He studies both Dzogchen meditation & yoga (trul khor), and Dzogchen preliminary and advanced texts. Both his Śaiva and Dzogchen masters gave him the task of teaching these systems stripped of the unnecessary aspects of the cultures and languages they are found in. His Dzogchen master also gave him the task of translating two Tibetan texts. One of which is finished and the other is in process. He now lives with his wife, Sahaja Dakinī, and their two children in rural Maine, USA. He is developing a practice hermitage in the wilderness of Maine and a European teaching center on the border of Italy and Switzerland.
