When it turns out Exile was just a Sabbatical • My return to the Yoga World

August 12, 2019 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

Three weeks ago, after a three or four year sabbatical, I stepped back into a Yoga Studio to teach. I’d stopped teaching because my practice no longer resembled a studio yoga class, and it was impossible to teach something I wasn’t doing. It felt contrived, and wrong.

What is a Kundalini Awakening and Have I Had One?

October 25, 2018 //  by Kara-Leah Grant

By Kara-Leah Grant The following are my reflections and understandings based on my direct experience of Kundalini Awakening, and studying within the Yogic and Tantrik traditions.
