1. Tuning in
We begin each class by tuning in with the chant the Adi Mantra (word vibration). Adi Mantra: "Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo" (Repeated three times)
The effect is to put one in touch with their own inner teacher and wisdom, setting the tone or vibration for the class to come.

2. Warm Up Exercises
A series of exercises or postures to warm up the spine and loosen the body in preparation of performing a Kriya.

3. Kriya (prescribed set of exercises)
The exercises are arranged in a logical pattern that release tensions systematically throughout the body. At the end of a set, the body has been well exercised and infused with prana (breath) and total relaxation is possible. The physical energy has been stimulated and channeled up toward the higher centres (chakras) in preparation for meditation.

4. Relaxation
This is a very important part of the class in which students can relax completely on the back. This time is to allow the body to integrate the effects of the exercises and re-calibrate itself to its best state.

5. Meditation
Meditation is a process that clears the subconscious negativity and allows a link up with the universal flow of consciousness, to feel at one with ourselves and the world. As a tool toward this, breath control and mantra (chanting) are used. By rhythmically repeating certain words (mantras), vital centres of consciousness in the brain (the pituitary and pineal glands) are physically vibrated by the sound produced, and energy pathways (meridians) on the upper palate are pressure-pointed by the tongue - to effect positive changes in mental attitude. When breath alone is used, the rhythmic changes in lung capacity have similar results. A class in kundalini yoga is more than just a physical workout. It is an exploration into how to feel good on every level of our being.

6. Song of Affirmation
To end a class we sing…
"May the long time sun shine upon you, all love surround you,
And the pure light within you, guide your way on. Sat Nam."
-By the String Band of the 60's
