Kalangi Yoga is a awakening (kundalini); comprises of simple hatha yoga (physical postures) along with simple but advanced yogic techniques utilizing empowered ancient mantras, breath and visualization.

How does Kalangi Yoga Workshop benefit me?

There are far too many benefits associated with the practice of Kalangi Yoga as it it incorporates and brings together the teachings of several enlightened masters, the Siddhar Sages, as a simple process of yoga that can be done by ourselves in 5 minutes or even five hours.
Kalangi Yoga aligns the body with the mind and then leads us into the experience of being Spirit. As with most yoga (yoga postures), health is a natural out come.
When each posture is tuned into breath and focus, the body is aligned with the mind. Utilizing the breath, the mantras, the inner stillness and the inspired joys, the body and mind aligns with the Spirit as a meditation by itself.
Kalangi Yoga does enable alight the nadis (energy points that run along the body) to hold space for intense meditation.
Kalangi Yoga leads us into a 24/7 meditative awareness of each breath, as a yogi, as inner ascending fires that rejuvenate the mind and body.
A healthy body enables clarity of the mind. A clear mind helps sleep well, think with focus and is always in harmony. An awake mind is empowered through the power to manifest reality with ease, evolve each moment and be inspired at all times.



Is Kalangi Yoga religious?

Kalangi Yoga is the experience of being Spirit, and so it is 'spiritual' and not religious. (Religion is defined as a set of rules meant to be followed
strictly by an organization). Kalangi Yoga is the yogic practice of the Siddhar Sages who walked away from collective intellectual ego and caste systems that represents the India we know. The Siddhar Sages instead chose to align directly with Source through the ancient lineage of light represented by the Gurus who spent entire
life times in meditation, seclusion and some times, in the main stream world fulfilling the ancient intent as purpose. The ultimate wisdom however is Sanathana Dharma, the inner realized wisdom of all Sages, the wisdom that is inclusive of all paths. The goal of Kalangi Yoga is to be the Spirit having the human experience all the time.



I have a Guru already. Is it alright to still take this initiation workshop?

It is ideal for a seeker of today to have more than one guide/guru/master/teacher. The path to Source is at first like the honey found in different flowers
and the seeking process is like a bee checking out each flower. Wisdom like honey is always One while the intellect behind the wisdom is unique from master
to master. Some masters are adept in healing & herbs; others in mantras & pujas; others in hatha yoga & tapas, some in music & bhakti, and so on. As there are many stages of 'enlightenment', there are many who serve as masters. An enlightened master is served by his/her disciple exclusively through the seeking of more wisdom and inner journey. Our path to the inner light is guided by enlightened masters who know the cardinal rule to the inner journey of the aspirant- to ensure the self mastery of the aspirant that begins with freedom and not control.



How long is the Kalangi Yoga Workshop and can you describe it?

The workshop is 3 1/2- 4 hrs long- but the true workshop is the life long ongoing process of learning, teaching and practice we contribute together as a circle. It is not physically challenging but it is deep and intense as the process in the workshop is a journey through the body, mind and then the Being as Spirit. We suggest you to go home and rest after the workshop.



What do you do during this initiation workshop?

Nandhi prefers to go with the 'flow' based on the group he is teaching- so each workshop is unique with the group energies playing a part to the 'flow'. We take you through the teachings and initiation through the follow steps-
1. Nandhi will explain and teach about the inspiring path of Kalangi Yoga through stories.
2. You will be taken through the basics of Kalangi Yoga by way of Sun Salutations with the teachings and initiation of the ancient mantras, along with
pranayama (yogic breathing techniques), visualizations through each sequence, kapalabati (third eye breath of fire) and the Guru chakra, and invoking the masters through our breath to be our experience and the third eye in relevance to the self mastery over the awake experience.
3. Yagna Fire- this is a powerful fire ritual done where we utilize the mantras to invoke the Divine, burn away karmic negatives and the past and allow ourselves to be receive the sacred energies as a renewal process.
4. Siddhar Puja- we bring all the energies and attention to focus on celebrating Source with offering of flower petals. You will learn how to create your own sacred Lamp altar so to grow the vortex of light that assists you in your daily journey.
5. You will receive from Nandhi the other essentials of the journey to light- the SivaSivaa CD set that has the written info on the process and mantras; the
108 rudraksha mala and how to do your japa (mantra recitations) with the mala; etc.
6. Question & answer time.

Is there any age limit for practicing Kalangi yoga?

If you are able to do Sun Salutation, a basic sequence of yoga, it is all that is needed. The reason why Sun Salutation is emphasized is that it will be through these postures that Kalangi Yoga basics will be taught/initiated. Sun Salutation sequences of postures are simple and the postures hold the benefits of all yogic postures. If you cannot do Sun Salutation, we advice you to take the SivaSivaa inner journey teachings that do not require the physical part of the Kalangi Yoga. Click here for the SivaSivaa Journey.
